I recall seeing the movie Silver Streak with Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor. I saw it on it's first run and it was great. Months go by and it's shown at a local $1 theater (yes - this was 40 years ago!) So anyway, when the blackface scene occurs - it is totally cut from the movie. It jumps to where Gene has removed the shoe polish from his face and is wiping behind his ear! If someone had not seen the movie previously they'd have no idea what was going on. I thought that edited scene was totally unnecessary.
