There were NO cuts made to TIC after it's World premiere.There have been recent rumors but that is all they were - rumors. There would have been a large number of people who saw TIC early in it's opening NYC season who would have been outraged if they saw a shorter version the next time they saw the film.There may have been some reduction in length of the films shown at World Fairs or other exhibitions (Seven Wonders,for example) but that that was all.TIC did however suffer minor censorship cuts in the Cypress Gardens sequence in at least one country.
According to David Strohmaier cuts were made to the film about a year after the premiere. There were about 8 cuts all together but they did not affect the continuity.
Does anybody know what scenes were cut?
