Well, last night The American Cinematheque showed my Major Dundee missing scene, and here's how it went. The audience was pretty tired by 12:20 when it came on, but were surprised by the sudden revelation of what happened to the Riago character. I met producer Nick Redman briefly and talked about the possibility of restoring all the European version scenes to Dundee - not Peckinpah's cut, just a version 11 minutes longer with a number of scenes that would help the continuity. But we dream on ...

It's mother's day, the perfect day for a paranoid thriller, two political pictures and a movie about tragic motherhood in the South. The Disney Treasures tins came in yesterday, and I'm in the midst of them. So far it's good news - I didn't see any signs of censorship on the Goes to War disc set. Back soon, Glenn Erickson
