Alan Bill notes: "I just recalled a particularly egregious example from television a long time ago. ABC was promoting the film ZORBA THE GREEK. In the promo there was a shot of a woman nude to the waist, shot from behind. But the movie as actually shown cut that scene out!" A more recent example of false promises from TV came last spring when TNT aired BEN-HUR. They kicked off with a commentary by Martin Scorsese lauding the wide-screen effects of the film, especially discussing how much was lost when the chariot race is not letter-boxed. Thus, one (along with Scorsese) assumed that TNT would at least letterbox the race. But come the race, no letterbox! (Not as exciting as a nude scene maybe, but no less disappointing to a cineaste!)
