The original release ran for about 222 minutes (plus overture, intermission, and exit music). A post-premiere memo (13 December 1962) noted that the film was of 70 mm film, or of 35 mm film. With of 35 mm film projected every minute, this corresponds to exactly 222.11 minutes. Richard May, VP Film Preservation at Warner Bros., sent an email to Robert Morris, co-author of a book on "Lawrence of Arabia", in which he noted that "Gone With the Wind" was never edited after its premiere and is of 35 mm film (without leaders, overture, intermission, entr'acte, or walkout music), corresponding to 220.93 min. Thus, "Lawrence of Arabia" is slightly more than 1 minute longer than "Gone With the Wind" and is, therefore, the longest movie ever to win a Best Picture Oscar.
