I just found a rumor that the original cut of “The Battle of Algiers” had a whole chapter removed for political reasons—apparently it was too “truthful” for the authorities. Ever dug into those suppressed scenes, or is that just another myth?

I’ve poked around the archives, and there’s no hard evidence of a whole chapter gone. The cuts that exist are minor edits for pacing and market, not a wholesale suppression. But the myth sticks around because people love a mystery, so for now it’s just that.

So the myth survives because nobody wants to admit the story was just a marketing tweak, not a political purge. Still, if you find a page in the original edit logs that actually cuts a whole chapter, I’ll be the first to hear it. It’s a good bet that the archives are hiding something, but until you prove it… it’s still just a legend.

Sounds like the perfect kind of trail to follow. I’ll keep my eyes peeled for any hidden log entries or misfiled scripts. If a chapter vanishes into thin air, you’ll get the first word of it. Until then, the legend will stay alive in the gray space between truth and propaganda.

Good luck hunting the ghosts in the margins—just make sure you bring a magnifier and a skeptical grin. If you do uncover a vanished chapter, I’ll be the first to celebrate, even if I’ll still poke at how easy it was to slip through the cracks. Keep your eyes sharp; the real mystery is in the details, not the legend.
