S+S coming to DVD 3/25/08

I've read that the chemistry between Ty and Lollo was indeed much better than between her and Yul. Power was a (pardon the expression) kinder, gentler man than the relentlessly macho Brynner, and every one of his leading ladies loved him for his solicitousness and dedication (and handsomeness!).

Gina was apparently devastated by his death. An hour or so before it she had been complaining to Power about some problem with her dressing room -- it's unclear whether she was just venting or was speaking to Power in his role as one of the producers of the film, through his production company's participation -- and he had calmed her down, telling her it wasn't that important and that "life goes on" -- a phrase she recalled later on and which apparently shook her, given what soon occurred.

After his heart attack on the set, they had to use her limo to drive Power to the Ruber clinic in Madrid, as astoundingly the company had no doctor or ambulance attached to it, but he died four minutes into the trip.

I suspect that if the DVD includes anything, it'll confine itself to a few stills instead of actual film footage. But the stills are widely available and of course convey nothing of the performances.

But -- what's the uncensored version of S&S? Never heard of it. I assume you mean more and/or sexier footage of GL? Any details?

I always thought her costume in the frankly laughable orgy sequence was the sexiest attire worn by an actress in any Hollywood film since the production code came in in the early 30s (see de Mille's THE SIGN OF THE CROSS, 1932), though within a few years even it would look relatively tame!
