According the noted in the CD of Delerue's unused score, they made a final dub of the film with the score, dialogue, and soud fx which they showed to Disney execs. It was then screened to an audience in July 1982. The weriter also states that Clayton's original cut "unravels at a measured pace -favoring quiet character moments and lots of dialogue. So, there WAS a Jack Clayton cut and people have seen it. Let's find it and release it so we can see the director's original vision.

I'd never heard that. I think maybe the pacing change would help but it would be a pity to swap out the Horner score. I suppose the original cut might only work with the music that was written to it but, while I enjoy the Delerue score, I just prefer what Horner wrote.
