What took the studio 2 years?


I have to wonder, given the scant historical notes on this neglected gem of a film, whether an alternate ending was filmed that the Hays office rejected. Getting the plot to its matrimonially correct final destination must have involved a plot of its own! If there are outtakes of a different ending, I'd love to see them. Even the railway station scene we got (not the one many commenters were hoping for) was moving, if not emotionally rewarding.
