   	I'm glad to have my vague memories of there being something funny   
   about the various editions of the movie confirmed.   
      
   	I could swear there was another MST3K experiment which had some   
   noteworthy scenes in other versions; I think that it may have been _Devil   
   Doll_, because I remember having it mentally tagged as somehow having a   
   ``continental'' edition.  I suppose you could fit a bit more nudity into   
   _Devil Doll_ if there were anyone we wanted to see naked in it, but as it   
   is the extra scenes are probably just taunting Hugo with the idea that he   
   too could have pants to not wear.

   	Well, that is silly.  How could he have married her?  Heck, how   
   could he even find a ring that fit her?
