have you ever seen the ragtime dvd? i'm not saying you necessarily should but i thought you might be able to explain something. there is just one sole deleted scene (and rightfully so, cause it's so ridiculous) in the extras which appears in high contrast b&w despite the film being shot in color. but the thing that i am most curious about is in the scene, elizabeth mcgovern is sitting on a bed topless, but they have blurred out her chest. do you know why they would do that? it was just so weird.
digdug:
thanks for the link. i actually had already checked it out and enjoyed it!
