Keep Circulating the Tapes: It was lost for decades until it resurfaced in 1981 when film collector and airlines executive Jim Shoenberger discovered a 16mm kinescope print of it amongst some old cans of film.Disowned Adaptation: Ian Fleming was disappointed by the film, mainly because of how it Americanized 007.That scene was not on the copy that was discovered in 1981 (see below) another kinescope with the full ending has since been found, but only one VHS release has used that print so far. Deleted Scene: The extremely hard-to-find real ending involved Le Chiffre grabbing the razor and holding Vesper hostage, followed by Bond shooting the former then making out with Vesper.I was very dissatisfied with the part, I thought they wrote it poorly. I tell you it was so frightening that when I entered my only thought was, 'Oh, God, if I can only get out of this mother!'.
So they went through and cut three words here, a line there, a half-a-word here, and their script ended up looking like a bad case of Tic-Tac-Toe.
