Altered-states About
Altered States

I saw the preview version of Altered States in 1980 in Pasadena. I recall a character (maybe the Blair Brown character) expressing her relief at not having to take a course in John Milton's poem Paradise Lost. This brief scene is not in the current DVD, I think; the preview version underwent some edits. But, to confirm my memory, does anyone else recall the scene I mention above?

    No, I don't remember that scene at all, having seen the film numerous times over the years, including in the original release. Not that I doubt you, but are you confusing this with the scene in ANNIE HALL where Alvy tells Annie not to take any class where she'd have to read Beowulf?
