R2 United Kingdom- MGM Home Entertainment - Seems to be uncut (BBFC site says: "Feature UKVV as cut"). BBFC: "The film received cuts when it was classified for its UK cinema release in 1955. Unfortunately, our records at that time only indicate unspecific deletions were made to the film. I'm afraid our recording and filing systems in the early days of the BBFC were not as consistent or rigorous as they are today. Systematic records of film cuts were only kept from 1957 onwards. A calculated guess would be that the cuts were made to the whipping scene to achieve a 'U' classification back then. However, we stress that this would only be a guess. The examiners who viewed the video version when it was first submitted for classification in 1988 suspected that it was the uncut version, and felt raising the classification to 'PG' covered the issue of the whipping sequence.
As to why our website entry for the classification of the work in 2000 states that it is the cut version, I'm not sure. There is no indication on our records for this version that it was cut, especially as we are unsure as to what were the original cuts. I will pass this matter onto our Information Services team, who are responsible for the classification data on our main website. The difference in running time between the two versions is accounted for by the inclusion of the film trailer with the main feature in the 2000 classification as indicated on our website."
