<< And now I agree with Chris, so much so that I became
outraged when it was shown on TV and the ending was cut
(freeze-framed) in such a way that the viewer was not
confronted by the non-Marlowe act.>>
I rarely watch movies on television, but in recent months I
have noticed that the Bravo channel, for example, cuts
movies. They totally eliminated a brief but key sex scene in
Kieslowski's Red (with Trintignant). I think it's outrageous.
When Bravo started out, they were a good channel, not an
exhibitor of disfigured films.
Many channels also seem to have some kind of aversion to
female breasts and to nudity in general, as if there were
something unhealthy about the human body. So they butcher the
films they show. I am talking about US television. Things are
different in Europe (how are they in Canada?).
