Hello. I have a general question about “Blood and Sand,” 1922, starring Rudolph Valentino.

I would like to see an edition of this film that contains the famous dressing room scene uncut and in its entirety. This is the scene where the matador Gallardo is dressing for a bull fight. In the Netflix DVD the scene is missing and in the Kino version it is cut short. I’m told it’s very hard to find.

Does anybody know why this scene is so hard to find? Was it censored for some reason? Do you know of any way that it can be seen complete and uncut?

I would be grateful for any advice or any leads you might send me.

Thank you,

Clare Higgins
