who were linked to us through
the contract.
:53:05
So we were charged.
:53:07
I got a suspended sentence
of 4 months
:53:11
and a fee of 400 000 lires
of the time...
:53:17
The movie was seized and
forbidden to be sold abroad.
:53:22
We had to use trickery to
sell it abroad.
:53:28
It is only 3 years afterwards
:53:31
that the movie was freed.
:53:35
At that time,
:53:37
the movie had already been
successful abroad.
:53:41
It was also successful in Italy
but less than at the beginning.
:53:47
The cuts made by censorship
were minimal.
:53:51
For instance, they cut
the adultery scene,
:53:56
shots from the turtle scene,
:54:00
and a few cuts by the end,
:54:06
during the castration scene...
:54:13
Nothing more, I think.
During the second passage,
:54:17
they cut more things but
:54:20
I don't remember.
:54:23
Actually, maybe they cut
:54:24
the scene where the girl gets
killed by indians in the end.
:54:30
TODAY
:54:35
The movies that sold best abroad,
:54:39
where genre movies:
'They Call Me Trinity',
:54:42
westerns. This is entertainment
cinema. Back then, people talked
:54:48
less about authorial cinema, which
is an Italian misunderstanding.
:54:52
This is the biggest problem
of Italian cinema.
:54:56
Authorial cinema doesn't exist.
:54:59
'Great' directors erased
the category of 'directors'.
