Originally a ten-hour TV miniseries narrated by Orson Welles,
later reissued for television in a somewhat shortened version with narration by Anne Bancroft.
Why couldn't they just make a normal length movie?
It was an 1100-plus page novel.
Some long books distill down well. Not this one. Way too much happening.
Note:
I read the book but never saw the film. I don't have much use for old miniseries, but I fail to see the point in completely gutting a story just to make it digestible in one sitting. Why bother?

So I'm guessing you haven't read the book? It's a big movie. That's why it wasn't a feature film. It was a TV series.
