Tonight, I found myself watching Peter Weir's Witness on AMC. It included a prolonged, previously cut scene featuring Patti LaPone as Harrison Ford's sister, who temporary takes in Kelly McGillis and son. The scene provides some overt dramatics for LaPone and somewhat explains what she was doing in this movie. But it stops the film cold. It was wisely cut from the original release and I hate to think that it's now shoehorned back into the recent 20th anniversary DVD. This was something that was better left unearthed. Feh!
