 Contrary to popular belief and what has been reported in  filmographies for years, Wilfred Lucas scenes as Alessandro have,  in fact, not been deleted from the film. In the DVD commentary by  Leonard Maltin and Richard W. Bann, they point out Lucas role  briefly in the opening scene as one of Diavolos conspirators,  hidden behind a false set of whiskers that has kept him from being  identified by viewers for years, including in Banns earlier  filmography published in the book "Laurel and Hardy".
