Title: Edited for TV version?
Product review: I saw this film in a theater as a youngster, and I remember it clearly. I can't tell you how disapointing this truly hatcheted version of that film is. The clumsy scene changes could be over looked, but to edit out the most memorable scene in the entire film makes me wonder why even produce this version. Richard Widmark would have never gotten his Academy nomination if this were the film version shown in theaters in 1947. The scene when he pushes Riso's mother down the stairs does not end with her landing at the bottom of the stair well, but it does in this chopped up TV version. What a disapointment this poorly edited version is indeed.
