I saw this--what I've always thought to be a very violent--movie a few years after its initial release and then again more than a decade later on late night TV. I've always been intrigued by a lobby card I saw(one of several pictures from the movie actually posted in the theater lobby when theaters still did that)which looked like a scene missing from the movie. Yvette Mimieux's character(if memory serves)makes her first appearance through the binoculars of one of the characters as she ran, filthy and with torn clothing, through tall grass to catch the train. The intriguing lobby card, however, depicted her struggling and hanging upside down in her underwear while one of the rebels sat at a piano, his gun slung by a strap over his shoulder, pretending(?)to sing and play a tune. The implication--that she was brutalized before she escaped to catch the train--is obvious and I can only guess at the degree of brutality and violence depicted. I'm wondering if this scene was ever in any of the versions seen by the others who posted here. Even w/o that scene, however, I thought this movie was violent enough, at least to my impressionable mind when I was younger.
