Thanks a lot WaynamoJim,
I have the ploblem of region code. In Japan region code 1 DVD can't seen.
But, I am lucky because i have 202-minutes version laser disc set
which is restored original directors cut version by 70mm print and dolby surround.
Anyway, which version of The Alamo we must certify? It's difficult
162-minute, 192-minute or 202 -minute version ?
Perhaps, i watced 192-minute version in the thatre 1963 in Japan.
Regards,
H.sanada

The scene from The Alamo you mentioned can be seen in The Directors Cut of The Alamo. And the only way to get that is either a VHS double cassette or a DVD you can probably buy off of E-Bay. And there is more to that scene. Emil Sand and his two cohorts get the drop on Crockett, Bowie, Beekeeper, Smithy and, Parson but, he ends up with Bowies famous knife in his chest to close it out.

Thanks for your info.
This book I mentioned was published in 1985,
i suppose that the directors cut of The Alamo was released after that.
My dvd of The Alamo have 162 minutes long ,I 'll search the scene.

Thank you so much for your pertinent comments in this thread, and letting us know about the part regarding deleted scenes in The Official John Wayne Reference Book.
And please . . . don't ever apologize for your English skills . . . I wager they are 1000 times better than the Japanese skills of anybody here! :teeth_smile: I know I would not be able to participate on a Japanese message board.

O.K.Jim,
From The Official John Wayne Reference Book
I don't have a scanner,so I'll post the transcription .
The Alamo:Wayen,Chill Wills,Hank Worden and Widmark look to see the merchant Emil and his men enter the church.Emil's plan is to kill all of the above because they have discovered his secret of stored powder and guns.
The Green Berets:This scene with Vera Miles was also dropped. Miles portrays Wayne's wife.During the course of the film they met in this brief sequence.
The Undefeated:Wayne and John Agar part ways in this scene.Agar seemed to appear when tthe script needed him but his disappearance was a mystery.
Wayne refers to two comrades that won't live by Christmas.Perhaps Agar's character was one of them.
El Dorado:Charlene Holt,Wayne,Robert Mitchum and Paul Fix appear to be having a good time.This sequence occurs befire Wayne leaves.El Dorado after being shot by Michele Carey. (I missed this good scene!!.like Rio Bravo,they are singing?)
This scene with Wayen and MIchele Carey is also missing,She is holding the rifle she shot Wayne with.
The Cowboys:Wayne takes a fall,perhaps from "Crazy Alice". and Wayne and A.Martinez encounter a bear while checking the trail ahead . The bear had disappeared from the final print.
McQ: Wayne encounters a woman at the reception desk at the hospital. Diana Muldaur looms over the woman's shoulder. I suspect Wayne is trying to find where his partner is after being shot.Muldaur plays the wife of the wounded detective.In the final version,Wayne and Muldaur are in the hospital room.

Hello Robbie.
I think that collectting deleted scenes is sure interresting.
In the book"The Official John Wayne Refference Book",
there is a contents Wayne on the cutting room floor,
The scenes pictured are from The Alamo,El Dorado,The Undefeated,
The Cowboys and McQ.
But, deleted scene is deleted scene.There some moments that were never used.
These moments only dropped down on the cutting room floor.
Publicity still,press kit photos and trailers seem to me that had taken by the staff
besides the original photography members and by another angle, by another time
to promote the film work.
It should appreciate this as a work besides the original though DVD of director's cut
long version is often released on the market later.
What is important is deeply affection when watch the film (the final cut) in the theatre,
i think.
Robbie, if i made a rude things because of my poor English, I'm sorry.
Regards,
H.sanada
