Title: Part Two is missing some footage
Product review: I was lucky enough to see this documentary when it first aired on TNT in the early '90s. I never bought the VHS set, but after reading a wonderful new biography about Irving Thalberg decided to get When the Lion Roars on DVD. However, I was disappointed to find out that some footage was cut from the second part. The first part ends with the death of Irving Thalberg in 1936, and originally the second part starts "the day after" Thalberg's funeral. But the DVD's second part starts with The Wizard of Oz and Judy Garland. This wouldn't be so bad, except that Jean Harlow's death has been eliminated. I'm sure that other parts were cut as well, it's just I don't remember them like I remember Harlow's demise. Jean was a huge star and she is still a fan favorite almost 80 years after her death. Shame on Time Warner for snipping away this documentary's tribute to Jean!
