Always possible, but I know I've seen the film with the "Time flies ..."
couplet (sorry, don't remember the title) within the past year when a friend
rented several Marx Brother's movies for us to watch after he learned I'd
never seen one. (He was disturbed that I didn't like any of them, though
that's another story).

Also quite possible. A decade ago, Hollywood video pulled all copies of
"Quest for Fire" for an extended period becuase a religious faction
complained (I guess that quelling the threat to their beliefs was more
important than supporting my right to view the film).
