The extra extended or additional five deleted scenes could have easily remained in the final cut. In fact the removal of Ned’s first attempt creates a continuity error in the final release version which in this extended version is corrected. The additional sexy scenes all add depth to the character, plot and critically the fims suspense.
Intentions:
I relally hope you enjoy this version which in my view is one of the greatest noirs ever made. WB never mention how much the film owes to Double Indemnity, as if Warner Bros. doesn’t want viewers to know and spoil the greatest noir ever made.
