One of my other favorite films is Roman Polanski's FRANTIC.

The film involves the kidnapping of Ford's wife, Betty Buckley.

Years ago, a person swore, swore on the IMDB boards that they had seen a TV airing in which there was an alternate (presumably original) ending in which Ford sleeps with Michelle, the girl who helps him look for Buckley, and at the end, it's revealed that Buckley is in league with the terrorists who kidnapped her.

Another user on the IMDB boards agreed and also swore they had seen this alternate ending, but there was no evidence of its existence.

I had seen the film many times and found this implausible.

Eventually, I ended up contacting Polanski's office when the BD had an audio error, in order to get him to fix it. He sent me a shooting script, to thank me.

Indeed, the ending was it had always been, there was no alternate ending, save for a few altered shots.

There were also people on the Jurassic Park thread swearing they had seen a shot of Laura Dern grabbing a leaf from a plant earlier than the moment in the film when she does so, or something like that. They finally realized they had confused a shot in the trailer with the film itself, or some such thing.

I think you could also be remembering the trailer for Strange Days, which cuts directly from a shot of Fiennes taking Lewis's top off to a shot of the lawyer watching the clip, from 0:18-0:22:

Our memory can play tricks on us.

Thank You James for ALL your time, and efforts...I don't know why the other guy couldn't have just done what you did, instead of coming at me with ALL guns blazing!!! I mean insulting strangers, being rude to them for no reason at all, when you've done nothing to them is beyond ridiculous, and shouldn't be allowed on ANY forum.

I've been with this site not too long - Since 2016, met some nice people - traded, and bought from a few, and never had anyone just verbally abuse me for no reason, but unfortunately it does apparently happen.

Anyway, I'm not going to give up on my quest for that scene, but I thank you again for your time, efforts, and above anything else - Decency, respect, and kindness.
