Scenes with priest, blacksmith not in final cut.......

Early in the film, before they start on the journey from Puerto Miguel, there's a scene at the blacksmith's where the priest warns them about the Garden of Evil, the moon of the white man, etc.

In the extras on the DVD, there are some stills of this scene, and there's a brief shot in the trailer of them waving goodbye to the priest.

I'm only guessing that Zanuck had enough exposition by that point in the film, and goes right from the cantina scene to them riding off into a very panoramic shot.

Remember, the sole reason behind this film was to show off the brand new CinemaScope process, but i would liked to have had that scene with the priest as well.

This may have been the first widescreen western ever made, and the scenery does makes up for some of the script's shortcomings.
