The NBC presentation of SL was classy. Uncut. A statement at the
beginning of the presentation to the effect that the image had been
modified to fit the dimensions of the TV screen.
All of the original dialogue was retained, including words that
normally raise a red flag with the FCC (not the mention the infamous
NBC censors). Included all of the nudity (erotic and otherwise) from
the original.
Even the Ford advertising at the beginning and end of the film was
surprising. Instead of huckstering cars, Ford was advertising Ford.
