was male nude scene with hairy biker later cut after sneak preview?

Dear danielj: I've got the only video release of THE PEOPLE NEXT DOOR (on the old Magnetic Video Corporation label from 1979) and I can tell you that I was surprised when I watched the film that there was full-frontal male nudity in a movie from 1970. So I reckon that, YES, the "hairy nude biker scene" is still intact on the videocassette. I also recall Deborah Winters being nude a couple times as well, running naked onto the front lawn in a drug-induced stupor.

And that slimy Don Scardino, hawking drugs from the trunk of his car whilst acting the normal middle-class white boy who wouldn't think of doing anything wrong.

IMDB, once again, is quite wrong about the details of this terrific piece. It was not a feature film, it was a made for television drama, and aired between 1968 and 1969. It won 3 Emmy awards (writing, directing, electronic camera work) at the 1969 ceremony and was nominated for others, including Program of the Year (it lost to TEACHER, TEACHER).

It may have subsequently had a limited theatrical release, but it was made for t.v. I remember watching in on a Sunday night, televised by CBS (I believe). My parents were very uncomfortable with the subject matter but they thought it important we all watch it as a family. I'd love to see it again after all these years. I wonder if it's on Youtube?

Thanks.
