than the one  that eventually made it onto the screen. When Gold Hat strikes Dobbs  with his machete, Dobbs is decapitated. Huston shot Dobbs (fake)  head rolling into the waterhole (theres a quick shot of Gold Hats  accomplices reacting to Dobbs rolling head that remains in the film  and in the very next shot you can see the water rippling where it  rolled in). The 1948 censors would not have allowed that, so Huston  camouflaged the cut shot with a repeat shot of Gold Hat striking  Dobbs. Warner Bros publicity department released a statement that  Humphrey Bogart (qv) was "disappointed the scene couldnt be shown  in all its graphic glory". Bogarts reaction: "Whats wrong with  showing a guy getting his head cut off?"
