In 1969, Charles Manson and his “Family” committed shocking murders, which led to a famous (and fascinating) trial.

In the final act Nova starts throwing up and Taylor says, “What’s wrong with her?” and sympathetic vet Dr Zira says, “Uhm, got some news for you, the rabbit done died,” to quote Aerosmith. Wisely, it was decided that this would distort and unbalance the story, but I’ve seen stills from the sequence.Baron_Wastehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10196038182565745864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2093241236139423281.post-25344432018544472982015-12-06T03:51:32.037-08:002015-12-06T03:51:32.037-08:00You're welcome and thank you for reading!

It's a cracking film and I love the chemistry between those two leads - one of the seventies most positive dystopian films!<br /><br />Best wishes<br /><br />PaulPaul Stocktonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10771850213840406163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2093241236139423281.post-6158302598007478732015-12-03T18:06:53.007-08:002015-12-03T18:06:53.007-08:00Thanks so much for posting this as I just recently...Thanks so much for posting this as I just recently read where there was a deleted scene, where Rosalind Cash's character got pregnant by Charlton Heston's character (and supposedly the book went even further).Pretahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08446366373662723825noreply@blogger.com
