The documentary is fascinating in that while they’re discussing the Constanze scene, it shows a rough cut of said scene, which is noticeably different from the final version in the Director’s Cut. In the rough cut, the nudity is mostly absent, with more closeups of a shocked Salieri and servant, and Constanze now curses Salieri out before chucking the candleholder. I don’t know if the change in shots was for censorship reasons since it’s technically a physical release of a PG movie, or if they didn’t really intend to show her topless in the original cut.
