No question that Ragtime is a good movie, but there’s also no question that for a significant number of people, Elizabeth McGovern is a major reason for buying this DVD. If so, and if the visual appeal is an essential part of that, then you should know that what is on this DVD is not what was in the theatrical release. I haveven’t seen the VHS version, so I don’t know if it was similarly butchered, but I really don’t understand the point of this sort of stuff, and I find it irritating. I can understand adding scenes to a “director’s cut” in a non-theatrical release, but under no circumstances does it make sense to me that scenes that were present in the theatrical release should be deleted in the non-theatrical releases. To make matters worse, the back of the box says “deleted scenes”. There is a deleted scene that was not in the theatrical release, but it isn’t worth watching, and it certainly doesn’t make up the scenes that were present in the theatrical release and that have been cut out of this DVD. In this case, “deleted scenes” should be taken to mean, “scenes that you probably remember from the theatrical release have been cut from this version.”

Anyone who objects to this sort of foolishness in principal should boycott this DVD. This isn’t the first time that I have encountered this. It seems to me that the studios should feel some sort of sense of obligation to not do this, whether artistic or ethical.
I can’t overemphasize the level of disappointment I have at the hack censorship Paramount management has engaged in with the DVD release of Ragtime. How they got Milos Forman to participate in adding commentary to that blatant smear of his efforts is is beyond me.
Does the studio actually think that diluting the film to “reposition” it (ergo, move it from an R to a PG rating) is going to dramatically grow its appeal? The core market for this DVD is the universe of film fans old enough to fondly remember seeing the original theatrical release in the early 1980s — but what the studio is offering them (as many reviews here clearly state) is unacceptable.

I want to see Elizabeth McGovern’s entire performance, Paramount - so I went to the secondary wholesale market and purchased a new old stock VHS copy, which contains the FULL original release.
Or put another way, one less DVD sale for you.
Because yes, while it’s your right as the copyright holder, I won’t purchase censored goods.
