Unfortunately it seems as if the footage that was cut from the film was not saved by United Artists. Only fragments exist. One of the segments exists in audio only, the other in video only, and others can't be found at all. There's always the possibility that they're in a box somewhere in the MGM vaults and that somebody will one day stumble on them. I love this movie!

Tho Stephens is good, but looks sickly. And if you squint hard at Blakely, you'll see Jack Lemmon. But it's terrific and Roza's score is one of the greats.
