- Work historyOriginally the film was classified 'A' but one month after the first viewing the company chose to reinstate the cuts taken from the 'A' to attain the 'X'. The 2 cuts for 'A' which were reinstated for the released 'X' version were; In reel 3 Remove shot of Lorna's naked breast as she removes her dress, and the ensuing medium close shot of her approaching the sea (the longer shot as she enters the sea can be allowed). In reel 4 Remove the whole love scene between Bob and Lorna from the point when he removes his shirt. source: BBFC
