John Fricke, in his book "Judy: a Legendary Film Career", lists "The Big Revue" as being released as an 18 minute two-reeler on August 14, 1929 at the Fox Belmont Theatre in Hollywood. The two-reel "The Big Revue" was subsequently edited down to one reel (not an uncommon practice) and re-released on an unspecified date by Associated Films.
TCM, Turner Classic Movies, sometimes broadcasts the "Starlet Revue" version of this movie. Their recording is nine minutes long.
