Just another data point:
I just saw two movies on Showtime last night: Summer Lovers, and
Goodbye Emmannuel. I saw Summer Lovers at the Drive In two years
ago, and as far as I could tell, there were no scenes cut by Showtime.
However...
I am positive many scenes were edited in Goodbye Emmannuel. Even though
it was "After Hours" (their term for late night soft porn movies),
they severely edited most of the sex scenes. Now neither Emmannuel
nor Goodbye Emmannuel would be considered hard-core even uncut; so
why was the film cut? Showtime has shown other soft-porn films with
the sex scenes left uncut; it almost appears to be somewhat capricious
(even random) the way they cut films (anyone ever watched any of
the Robin Askwith/British Sex Comedy films, such as "Confessions
of a Window Washer/Driving Instructor/Camp Director/etc"? They
don't cut any of those scenes). So, one film was left alone,
and one was cut up. Maybe the Emmannuel film was sold to them that
way, I don't know.
