Was it shown with an intermission? It's 4 hours long.

It's being shown in my area on Labor Day weekend in its complete form. I'm posting it to a film group and they will ask me whether it will have an intermission. The venue didn't know yet, but if it had one originally I'd like to know.

I never saw this in cinema, but someone who did told me it had an intermission.
