Studios Pulled This Scene From Jeremiah Johnson And Never Explained Why

Why was this scene PULLED from Jeremiah Johnson (1972) and why did the studio never explain why? For over 50 years, this classic Robert Redford western has been hailed as one of the greatest western movies ever made - but the version you saw in theaters is NOT the version Sydney Pollack originally shot.In this video, we break down the deleted scene from Jeremiah Johnson that was quietly cut before release, what it revealed about the true story of the mountain man, and why the studio wanted audiences to never see it.Based on the legendary mountain man Liver-Eating Johnson, Jeremiah Johnson became an instant classic of the wild west era - but behind the scenes, the film's brutal, spiritual and violent original cut was considered too dark for 1972 audiences.
