Quick Summary

The film A Matter of Time, directed by Vincente Minnelli in 1976, is a period fantasy. The production was financed by Samuel Z. Arkoff's American-International Pictures. Unfortunately, the film was taken out of Minnelli's control during post-production and heavily edited by Arkoff. This led Minnelli to repudiate the final version of the film, marking the end of his career. Director Martin Scorsese and other filmmakers protested this situation. The film's original intent and potential as a masterpiece remain unknown due to these circumstances.1
