A deleted love scene between Pitt and O'Mara...


I've seen stills of Ingrid Pitt and Kate O'Mara making love, but its not in the movie. When O'mara enters Ingrids bedroom, you see Ingridd undress then it goes to darkness....
Does anyone know if a love scene was to follow, but was cut?
Kate O'maras character is very happy the next morning so I'm guessing a scene may of been cut out in between.

I read once that there was a deleted scene but I've never been able to find it. If it exists I imagine it's in a private collection and we can only hope that it will surface someday.

In the meantime, here is a music video by Doris Day (of all people) set to the scene. Nothing new in it but it's kind of cool.

Hammer (I love Hammer) under J. Carreras really were an exploitation company at heart, so just as they weren't above e.g. putting art of stuff that wasn't in the films on their posters, they weren't above taking publicity stills of scenes that they didn't really film. They would advertise in "men's magazines" using stills of exact stuff that they knew they couldn't use in the movies because keeping the ratings boards happy was part of the business.

Thank goodness no other section of the movie industry does any of those things today . Hollywood is particularly to be commended for showing restraint and prioritising art over any commercial considerations.

The uncut and restored Blu Ray shows no added footage.
