happily retired couple,  Ullman and Willis. Though Streep and Hawn remain beautiful, they  lack the love and life that Willis and Ullman created without the  use of any magical youth potions. Hence the moral of the story was  the same, but apparently, Zemeckis and the test audiences didnt  feel the payoff was rewarding enough. When it was changed to the  current ending (where Streep and Hawn literally fall to pieces), the  entire Ullman subplot seemed extraneous, so it was cut. In all,  quite a few minutes of deletions were made, and this test audience  version was never released theatrically or on home video.
