Somebody wrote BLACK GODFATHER 96 min and Blood Ties 98 min on this tape. AFI lists a 95-96 minute running time for The Black Godfather, which makes the first number look promising. But Blood Ties could be more than one film, and two full movies with those handwritten times would run longer than a T-120 holds at standard speed. Did they record at a slower speed, or just copy the times from somewhere? I haven't watched it yet, so the neat handwriting is doing most of the detective work.
On the label
- BLACK GODFATHER: handwritten 96 min; The Black Godfather (1974) is a plausible program match, not a verified playback identification.
- Blood Ties: handwritten 98 min; exact film and edition unresolved.
