Missing Scene
At least one sequence did not make it into the final film, and it is unclear as to whether it was ever actually shot, although the scene exists in a draft of the original script held in the British Film Institute Library.
Before the opening titles, Stanley Donen sits in a director's chair and addresses the audience directly, expressing anger at having been signed-up to direct such a trivial and inconsequential piece. Donen then claims to have had a change of heart and is about to present us with a more worthy piece. Peter Cook, as the character of Spiggott, then rises slowly from behind the chair, leans forward, and murmurs in Donen's ear, "Just think of the money, Stanley..." The scene then segues in the film's opening credits.

Famous quotes containing the words missing and/or scene:
“We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But if that drop was not in the ocean, I think the ocean would be less because of that missing drop. I do not agree with the big way of doing things.”
—Mother Teresa (b. 1910)
“Winter lies too long in country towns; hangs on until it is stale and shabby, old and sullen. On the farm the weather was the great fact, and men’s affairs went on underneath it, as the streams creep under the ice. But in Black Hawk the scene of human life was spread out shrunken and pinched, frozen down to the bare stalk.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
