Cut Sequence
A segment that was filmed but eventually cut out of the film was 'What Makes a Man a Homosexual?'. The sequence had a common spider (Woody Allen) and a black widow (Louise Lasser). After a mating dance on the black widow's web, the spiders make love and the black widow eats the common spider. Allen cut the sequence as he was unable to find a suitable ending for it. Some still photographs of this sequence can be seen on some versions of the film's DVD cover.

Famous quotes containing the words cut and/or sequence:
“One of the characteristics of the dream is that nothing surprises us in it. With no regret, we agree to live in it with strangers, completely cut off from our habits and friends.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
“We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
