'THINGS TO COME' (1936) making a more complete 'hybrid' version by combining scenes from two release versions

H.G. Wells, Ann Todd and Raymond Massey on the set of 'Things to Come' (1936)

The Walter Gutlohn 1941 USA release included scenes and important dialogue missing from existing UK prints. By combining scenes from both the Gutlohn and UK versions it was possible to create a 'hybrid' print version.
