Background Information

The ending of the film was considered by some to be too risqué, and so was cut. This is the cut version in the IAC Film Library collection. The full version was not much longer, and ends as the couple lie down on the couch together. The Cynnewink Cynners film collection including the uncut original of this film is held at and preserved by the Yale Film Study Center in the USA (library.yale.edu/film)
