- Michelangelo Antonioni
 

When a scene is being shot, it is very difficult to know what one wants it to say, and even if one does know,
there is always a difference between what one has in mind and the result on film.

- Michelangelo Antonioni
 

Michelangelo Antonioni's original ending was a shot of an airplane sky-writing the phrase "Fuck You, America," which was cut by MGM president Louis F Polk along with numerous other scenes.  Louis F Polk was eventually replaced by James T Aubrey, who had most of the cut footage restored, but without this final shot.
