State University of New York at Stony Brook Stony Brook, NY 10025 Krin Gabbard Associate Professor Comparative Literature 212 749-1631 30-May-1994 07:41pm EDT FROM: KGABBARD TO: Remote Addressee ( [log in to unmask] ) Subject: Re: Desert Hearts I urge anyone interested in acquiring a copy of _Desert Hearts_ to AVOID using the version of the film that has recently been broadcast on the Bravo cable channel. Because Bravo is carried on several systems for free (I pay $9 a month for it in New York), the channel edits out nudity, foul language and anything else that might offend Middle America. As you might imagine, many of the scenes in _Desert Hearts_ have been rescanned or cut to eliminate nudity. Krin Gabbard SUNY Stony Brook
