the most famous element is the musical scene where red performs and "wolfie", as she calls him, reacts in highly lustful wild takes. those reactions were considered so energetic that the censors at the time demanded cuts in this scene and others. avery claimed that a censor made him edit out footage of the wolf getting sexually aroused at the sight of red performing. however, an army officer at washington, d.c., then heard about the censored prints and asked louis b. mayer for uncut ones. the print was shown to military audiences overseas and went over great with them. preston blair on the other hand, who animated red, did not recall any cuts to the film. he did recall, however, that the military went nuts over it.
