Father in law taking a bath


I watched this years and years ago, before watching it again yesterday on DVD. I seem to remember a scene that does not appear on the DVD, so maybe someone else remembers. Did Book ever walk in on Eli taking a bath, thinking it was Rachel? I swear I remember this happening, but maybe not. My parents still have this on VHS from when they recorded it from HBO. Maybe I'll borrow it and have a look.

I've seen both the TV version, and the full theatrical version,and I have never, never, seen that scene. If you find it, let me know, because for one thing, how on earth could John mistake elderly Eli for Rachel?

I think it would be a case of Book hearing someone taking a bath and, assuming it was Rachel, he walked in on Eli.

DUDE! Your thinking of the scene in Sledge Hammer the 1989 TV show. The main lead guy goes to a... its a send-up of Witness called 'Witless". He goes into a Quaker or some kinda village, and totally rips off the movie! There IS a scene where Sledge Hammer walks upon the curtained-off outdoor shower, and sees a figure washing, gyrating, bending in the throes of the intimate act showering.... Slege offers some tender words of appreciation to her,

Sledge admires the beauty of the "woman" before him, marveling, gazing

-until the figure behind the shower curtain steps out and wraps his middle-age male physique in a towel and huffs off, in shock at Sledge!!! Pwned!!
