I forgot to ask this one: There is a beginning and an ending to Tod Browning's Freaks that look to me as if they were added on after the fact. Does anyone know if that is true or not? Jan Edler cmcl2!edler pyuxll!jse

My memory of Freaks is a little rusty, but as I recall, it was filmed in about 1932, shortly after Dracula (also by Browning), and nearly ruined his career. The beginning and end were probably tacked on to placate the studio. The film wound up tied up in contract dispute and was unavailable even to colleges until the mid 1960's.
