Something was cut from 'I want to be alone with my bear' scene


I remember seeing this film when it was first released. Toward the end of the film, when TR sees his bear for the first time -- when he says "I want to be alone with my bear" -- there followed a TR voiceover ruminating about America, BEFORE TR is shown reading the letter from the Raisuli. I've never seen that bit since -- not on TV, not on VHS, not on DVD, not on TCM. If anyone else remembers and has those lines, please post them.

I've seen the movie a few times, and don't recall anything other than Connery's voice over as Keith read's Raisuli's letter.

That was John Hay (John Houston) who says "I trust he was a democrat" referring the bear.
