The components and the order of the overall film must be reconstructed. Stephen Koch listed the individual parts in his book Stargazer without paying attention to the order. The following (incomplete) list follows mainly Jonas Mekas , who understood it by viewing the (only partially labeled) film cans and talking to Paul Morrissey , Gerard Malanga and Warhol:

During the performance, two projectors were running, each throwing a roll of film onto a single screen, resulting in cross-fades and double projections.
background
The film is an elaborate assembly capability, other and total of Warhol's work as avant-garde director. The unusual title is a satirical allusion to the habit of contemporary film critics to rate cinematic products with stars, with four stars being the highest rating. The misnomer 24 Hour Movie comes from Warhol's biographer Victor Bockris , the artist himself referred to the film in his autobiographical book Popism as “twenty five hour movie”. Other critics linked the film with James Joyce's novel Ulysses , which also spans a full day.
After the only full showing, which only about 20 visitors, including Warhol himself, could get through, the film was cut. Parts of the complete works were shown later, including a 100-minute version of Imitation of Christ and as parts of I, A Man , Bike Boy and The Loves of Ondine . Most of the film rolls went to the archives and have not been viewed to this day.
"I knew we'd never do it in that long form again, so it was like real life, like our own life, what was flickering on the screen - it should pass us once and then we'd never see it again . "
