I saw it in the cinema in 1968 and My US dvd seems complete... Did the UK
release get censored too??? It doesn't seem likely, we were getting some
pretty risque things released uncut at that time. Censorship got worse here
in the 70's and 80's.

Not in every version I've seen, or owned. I have the US dvd, UK laserdisc
and a BBC timeshifted tape.

I'll ask on my Star Trek list, star-trek-one@yahoogroups.com. I'm sure
someone will know, they are always petitioning Paramount about something or
other.
