Theda Bara in a surviving scene from the partially lost 1917 film Cleopatra

The following is a list of notable films that are incomplete or partially lost. For films for which no footage (including trailers) is known to have survived, see List of lost films. For films that were never completed in the first place, see List of abandoned and unfinished films.

Films restored from different sources

Sometimes a film can be re-patched from different source to present the movie as intended.

In the case of horror films made in the 1980s, much of the gore was removed from films negatives and would only be retained on VHS tapes that chose to retain it. When restoring these films as intended, the VHS source mixed with 4K Ultra HD doesn't match well, and can never be re-watched in their optimal form. On this matter David Gregory founder of the distribution company Severin Films said "When we find that an original camera negative has been cut for censorship, it’s gutting, because rarely are those cuts saved. If they’re cutting the [negative], then for whatever reason the producers decided that this was the version they wanted to survive into the future. With ’80s movies, it was often because the censorship climate changed, favouring less violence and gore as the decade went on."[1]

1940FantasiaVarious DirectorsDeems TaylorFor its 60th anniversary DVD release in 2000, Disney's manager of film restoration, Scott MacQueen, supervised a restoration and reconstruction of the original 125-minute roadshow version of Fantasia. The visual elements from the Deems Taylor segments that had been cut from the film in 1942 and 1946 were restored, as was the intermission. However, the original nitrate audio negatives for the long-unseen Taylor scenes had deteriorated several decades earlier, so Disney brought in voice actor Corey Burton to dub all of Taylor's lines. Although it was advertised as the "original uncut" version, the Sunflower edit in Beethoven's Symphony No. 6 made in 1969 was maintained. In this version, it was accomplished by digitally zooming in on certain frames to avoid showing the black centaurette character.
1941This Man Is DangerousLawrence HuntingtonJames MasonIncluded on the BFI's "75 Most Wanted" list of missing British feature films, a dubbed Italian copy has surfaced.[199][200]
1942The Magnificent AmbersonsOrson WellesJoseph Cotten, Dolores CostelloForty-four minutes were cut by RKO Pictures from Welles' version after an unsuccessful preview, with RKO filming a new ending and destroying the deleted footage. A handful of shots from the original version exist in the film's original trailer, which has survived.

1943Sanshiro SugataAkira KurosawaSambasAccording to the Toho Studios introduction to the 1952 re-release of this film, 1,845 feet (17 minutes) were cut in 1944 due to government demands. The missing footage could not be found for the 1952 re-release and is considered lost.

1950s

YearFilmDirectorCastNotesRef
1951The IdiotAkira KurosawaSetsuko Hara, Masayuki Mori, Toshiro Mifune, Yoshiko KugaKurosawa wanted the original 265-minute version to be shown in two parts. When the studio balked, the film was cut to 180 minutes. After the poorly received premiere, the picture was cut, against Kurosawa's wishes, to 166 minutes. No print of the 265-minute version is known to exist; Kurosawa supposedly spent a week looking through the studio archives for the original cut when he returned to Shochiku Studios 40 years later to make Rhapsody in August.
The Red Badge of CourageJohn HustonAudie Murphy, Bill Mauldin, Douglas Dick, Royal DanoHuston had high hopes for the movie, even considering the original two-hour cut of the film as the best he had ever made as a director. After a power struggle at the top of MGM management, the film was cut from a two-hour epic to the 69-minute version released to theaters, in response to its alleged universally disastrous previews. It was never released as an "A" feature but was shown as a second-feature "B" picture. Both Huston and star Audie Murphy tried unsuccessfully to purchase the film so that it could be re-edited to its original length. Huston did not waste any time fighting over it, as he was focused on the pre-production of his next picture, The African Queen. The studio claimed that the cut footage was destroyed, probably in the 1965 MGM vault fire. In 1975, MGM asked Huston whether he had an original cut of the film, which the studio wanted to re-release. He had actually struck a 16mm print, but by that time, it had been lost.
1953Captain ThunderboltCecil HolmesGrant Taylor, Charles TingwellThe Australian National Film and Sound Archive has what it believes is the 53-minute version edited for television, but is still searching for the full 69-minute original.[205]
1954A Star Is BornGeorge CukorJudy Garland, James MasonOriginally premiering at 181 minutes, Warner Bros. cut the film down to 154 minutes for general release. For a 1983 restoration, running 176 minutes, the original multiple track, stereophonic sound was restored, along with some scenes that had been cut; production stills filled in for other missing scenes. A complete print is rumored to exist.
Top BananaAlfred E. GreenPhil SilversShot and edited in 3-D, the film was released in 2-D. The film only survives in a 16mm, 2-D version, although a 3-D trailer has survived.
1956The Burmese HarpKon IchikawaNikkatsu, the studio that commissioned the film, released it in Japan in two parts, three weeks apart. Part one (running 63 minutes) opened on January 21, 1956, and part two (80 minutes) opened on February 12. Both were accompanied by B movies. The total running time of 143 minutes was cut to 116 for later re-release and export, reputedly over Ichikawa's objection. The original 143-minute version is lost.

1963It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad WorldStanley KramerSpencer TracyPremiering at 192 minutes, the movie was edited to 162 minutes for general release. In the late 1980s, 20 minutes of deleted footage were found in a warehouse which had been slated for demolition and restored to the film in 1991. The remaining lost roadshow footage was tracked down in 2013 as part of a restoration effort to return the film to its original roadshow length. A majority of the scenes found were complete; the remainder were missing either the sound or the visuals, as they were derived from original 70mm roadshow prints that were themselves edited down from Kramer's original cut. The original elements disappeared long ago.
1964Man in the 5th DimensionDick RossBilly GrahamThis short film was originally shot in the 70mm Todd-AO widescreen process. Eleven 70mm prints were created, but none survive. The film exists in a 16mm version only.
1964ThinkCharles and Ray EamesThe film was part of an exhibit at the 1964 New York World's Fair. Around 2016, a home movie held at Indiana University Libraries Moving Image Archives was found to include three minutes of the 1964 version.[206]
1964FirelightSteven SpielbergThe first film directed by Steven Spielberg, then only 17 years old. The 135-minute sci-fi film cost $500. Only 3% of the film survives. [207]
1966The Good, the Bad and the UglySergio LeoneClint Eastwood, Eli Wallach, Lee Van CleefAt least two completed sequences from this film, one in which Blondie foils Tuco with the aid of a Mexican prostitute and another in which Angel Eyes explains to Blondie how he learned of Jackson's gold, were cut from all releases, including the Italian premiere version, and are now believed to be lost. All that remains of the former sequence is a snippet of footage used in a French trailer for the film, while a small number of production photos provide evidence for both scenes' existence.[208][209][210]
1967Four StarsAndy WarholEdie Sedgwick, OndineOne of the longest films ever publicly screened, it ran for close to 25 hours at The Filmmaker's Cinemathèque in New York City on December 15–16, 1967. Based on extant data regarding the order of reels, films that still remain and projection information, a full reconstruction is not possible.[211]
Great Monster YongaryKim Ki-dukThe original negative is thought to be lost and the original Korean-language version only exists in a 48-minute fragment. However, MGM owns a complete 35mm interpositive and textless 35mm elements for the opening and ending titles and was able to reconstruct the AIP-TV English-dubbed U.S. version in CinemaScope.

1971Bedknobs and BroomsticksRobert StevensonAngela Lansbury, David TomlinsonThe film was shortened after its premiere, from two and a half hours to 119 minutes. In 1996, a restoration effort was mounted, and most of the cut footage was found. However, most of the dialogue tracks for these scenes could not be recovered, so the scenes were dubbed by the original actors whenever possible. Footage of the song "A Step in the Right Direction", which was included on the original soundtrack album, has not been found.
The Big BossLo WeiBruce LeeAfter its Hong Kong run, the movie was edited for Western release. Numerous cuts were made, mostly to remove the more graphic violence. Also removed was an explicit brothel scene in which Lee's character makes love to a Thai prostitute (Lee's only implied nude scene in his career). The missing footage has been rumored to still exist.[212]
Duck, You Sucker!Sergio LeoneRod Steiger, James Coburn, Romolo ValliMany versions of this film exist (the best-known and most widely available being the 157-minute version), but several scenes are known to have been cut from every release and possibly survive only through production stills. These include a scene in which John is forced to march across a desert without water (similar to a scene in Leone's previous film, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly) and one in which Dr. Villega is tortured for information by Colonel Reza.[213][214]
1972The Last House on the LeftWes CravenSandra Cassel, Lucy GranthamThis film was unusually graphic for its time and many cinema machinists made their own cuts. As a result, some scenes are missing from most versions of the film and the sound is missing from other scenes.[215][216][217][218]
1973The Wicker ManRobin HardyChristopher Lee, Edward WoodwardThe original negative and film elements of Robin Hardy's 99-minute director's cut of The Wicker Man are lost and only survive on tape recordings. In 2013, StudioCanal launched a Facebook campaign to find missing material from the film, which resulted in the discovery of a 92-minute 35mm print at the Harvard Film Archive that saw a theatrical and home media release subtitled The Final Cut. This print, previously known as the "Middle Version", was assembled by Hardy for the film's then-U.S. distributor, Abraxas, for its 1979 U.S. theatrical re-release.[219][220]
1974The Corpse EatersDonald R. Passmore, Klaus VetterMichael Hopkins, Ed LeBretonAfter being sold as a tax write-off, the film faded into obscurity for years until Encore Home Video rediscovered it in 1993 and released it on DVD several years later, claiming to have transferred their copy from the only known surviving print. This version runs 57 minutes and is considered incomplete.[221]
1977Last House on Dead End StreetRoger WatkinsRoger WatkinsThe original cut of the film, bearing the title Cuckoo Clocks of Hell, was three hours in length. Although it was screened in 1974, this version has been lost; the original negatives are missing and may have been destroyed.[222]
