The 1971 print we have has the Buck Rodgers clip in it...

I understand that, I am talking about the original theatrical release which supposedly had a 1-minute clip from "Things to Come" (1936) before the opening credits; instead of the Buck Rogers segment we currently have.

 Thing is, we're not sure that's even true. This print has been confirmed to be an authentic 1971 print and while there are differences from the later post Star Wars re-release, there aren't that many. 

We're all wondering if the stories surrounding the "meddling of the studios" hasn't been exaggerated to some degree.
