Uncut
Hilarious driving sequence on the way to Port Levy where the Hulme family and Pauline are singing "how much is that doggy in the window". A must-see.
A short sequence where Pauline and Juliet imagine themselves to be Borovnian Princesses and then turn to clay images of themselves.
The famous tennis party sequence which was completely cut out of the film. Pauline and Juliet talk about Bill Perry and his attempt "get into mommy's draws" while being mischevious. Explains and shows how Bill Perry "decieved" the Hulme's to get into their homes. Great stuff, especially Juliet's mocking of Bill when they are first introduced.
Pauline imagines her parent's dying at the dinner table. She imagines that her mother chokes to death and that her father gets stabbed in the chest with a kitchen fork while leaning over to get more food. There also is a little more shown of Nana Parker ( Pauline's grandmother ).
An excellent scene where Pauline and Juliet discuss their plans for Hollywood stardom. They talk about "moidering" the wives of their icons like Mario Lanza etc, if they get in the way.
In the U.S version, Paulines final scream is accompanied by just a black screen then rolls into the credits. The workprint actually shows her blood stained face at the crime scene with the final scream before it rolls into the credits. Makes the ending to this spectacular film even more powerful.
There are other cut scenes/dialogue here and there including another scene that explains why Dr.Hulme had to leave Canterbury College in a meeting with the college bigwigs.
