Presumably this is the first time that the film have been released uncensored. It was cut on it's original cinema release in 1959, and then cut further for it's video release in 1996
All cuts have now been waived, including the 7 seconds removed from the video release for animal cruelty - a scene of a mongoose fighting a snake
Once again, a mockery is made of the animal violence law! |
I'm not so sure. Seven seconds isn't a long time. It's not like cannibal films where there are minutes and minutes of the stuff.
Two animals scrapping briefly isn't the same as skinning a mongoose alive. Well not to me it isn't anyway.
Plus of course the film is black and white rather than glorious technicolor.
