jackArchive foootage has been discovered of an early condensed adaption of LOTR starring Humphrey Bogart! (Not really. But it's funny.) The first link is the page where I found it, the second is direct to the movie.

I don't have any review quotes to hand, so I will instead post a couple of choice snippets from the review on that page of Bakshi's LOTR.
It's their business, I suppose, if they want to cut everything referring to Aruman's melodic and persuasive voice; but did they have to make him sound like a gecko with a sore throat?
Like Aruman, Aragorn also sounds inexplicably like a gecko with a sore throat. Though not as sore a throat as the gecko playing Saruman.
Difficult as it is for me to say anything good about this movie, I actually think that Peter Woodthorpe did a good job as the voice of Gollum. Intriguingly, Gollum did NOT sound like a gecko with a sore throat (in spite of the fact that he's the one character who safely could have).
