When the movie was remade in 2004, starring Jude Law, that scene was excised.
With all the old movie favorites being shown again and again on television, it is remarkable that the old movie classic "Alfie" is seldom shown. Could it be fear that the scene where cold-blooded Alfie breaks down and cries at the sight of an aborted baby is something that would unleash the furies of the feminazis?
A non-rhetorical question, as I don't keep up with present-day pop culture (happily stuck in the past, thanks): Is there a recent movie that deals forthrightly with the consequences of Alfie's promiscuous lifestyle or the realities of abortion?
