Thanks to the Original Poster!
I had two copies of this movie. The other was a slightly better quality. But the time of the other movie was 1:21:16. The Runtime given at IMDb is 85 min. In other words my other copy was about 3 3/4 min short. The time of the movie being posted is 1:24:36 - right in line with IMDb's Runtime.
Not noticing any missing scenes, I believe my other copy was time-warped. Whether it's time-warping to fit a movie into a TV slot, or fit a movie on a disc, or make the pace faster, or whatever reason, time-warping, in my opinion, is repugnant. It distorts the movie from what was originally intended by the producers and director.
Why not time-warp all movies to just 10 minutes? The difference between that, and time-warping a movie by 3 3/4 minutes, is one of degree, not of kind.
Anyway, for my taste, this copy is acceptable. and it is as originally intended by the producers and director.
