The trailer not only shows alternate takes of scenes, but a
goodly portion of a scene that's nowhere in the finished movie.
It's long been an industry practice to get a
movie's trailer out well in advance of its premiere, which is why
trailers often show scenes not in the final cut and at times even
alternate takes if the production is still being edited. These
things whet the movie fan's appetite not only to see the movie
in question but the movie that almost was.

I've always wondered how much of this film had been reshot before
release. The trailer not only shows alternate takes of scenes, but
a goodly portion of a scene that's nowhere in the finished
movie.Can anyone shed any light on the story that Bogart was cast
in this film because Jack Warner was tired of hearing Bogart complain
about repeatedly playing 'the same kind of guy' over and
over?I wonder if Ian Fleming was a fan of this flick – Dr X
*does* look like a Bond villain (albeit two decades early).
