With regard to the length of THEY WON'T BELIEVE ME, the American Film Institute Catalog lists the running time at 95 minutes, and they claim to have viewed a print in order to create their Catalog entry. Perhaps they didn't actually put a clock to the film and just assumed they were viewing a 95 minute version, although there are a number of other films in the catalog where they note differences in the running time between what reviews and other sources claim and what the actual print viewed ran.
As for the laserdisc, I've seen the back of a copy, and it lists the running time as 91 minutes. There is an entry for the disc in the online Laserdisc Database. That entry lists the running time as 94 minutes, with the notation that the "Jacket wrongly lists running time as 91 minutes." Given all this, I'd be hesitant to conclude, as Muller does, that the 95 minute version doesn't exist and is a "legend."

More fascinating info on this rarity! Thanks for that Bob. Any chance you could view the Laser Disc in question, perhaps in the future? Have you seen the (80 minute?)version? I've heard about the added scenes in detail and of course Eddie had a "longer" version at Noir City but just how long we still don't know.

I've never seen any version of THEY WON'T BELIEVE ME, so even if I could view a long version, I wouldn't be able to tell how it differed from the short version, or which scenes had been deleted from the long version. My understanding is that scenes were not "added" to the short version, but were edited out of the original (long) version for a later re-release of the film (probably for the bottom half of a double bill).
One more thing on the film's length. The AFI Catalog lists the physical length of the film as 8,536 feet. Where they get this number, I don't know--probably from studio paperwork, but possibly from looking at a footage counter in a projection booth. In any case, at 1.5 feet per second for standard sound film, that times out to 5,691 seconds, or 94:51.

You must have been awfully good at math Bob. Very impressive!

Thanks cinemascope. I will set the recorder. I remember it was grim. And brutal.
Mostly drama and tension and men falling apart than action.
The title always makes me think of the Bless em all song where the title was taken from and the veterans marching past the cenotaph.
