...director win against a studio? Maybe. Robert Altman's cut for The Gingerbread Man didn't get the response at test screenings that PolyGram wanted. So, although Altman threatened to take his name off the film, the studio had a new editor chop off eight minutes. But the new cut tested only a little better.

After wandering around the tunnels for a while, we found a tutor who told us we probably didn't want to go there because it was roach-infested. She took us to her room to use her convection oven instead. She had a pigeon living in her room that she found in the belfry. It has some sort of neurological disorder, so its head is kind of cocked...
