No, I don't think this is cut anymore. Looks like the cut version was missing 13 mins so should be easy to spot.

The new prints will all be American-sourced.

You'd have to track down an ancient British cinema print and possibly the 80's VHS to see that cut version.

Yeah all the Clarke Gable and Vivian Leigh romping has been cut.

Mark,
Thanks. Yeah, what we have on DVD must be uncut now I would guess.
