Part Six | Cut. Scene 87. INT. EMPTY THEATRE—FANNY ...
After Fanny and Nick sang “You Are Woman, I Am Man”, writer Isobel Lennart's final shooting script included a scene which reminded the audience that they were watching Fanny's flashback. Fanny was shown again in the empty theater seen at the beginning of the film, wearing her leopard coat, with tears welling in her eyes.
Trim. Scene 88. INT. BRICE SALOON.
Following that, the movie flashed back to Henry Street. There was a short song (another leftover from the Broadway show) sung by the Henry Street ladies. (“I think you're bluffing—bluffing”).
The movie picks up right after the song, with Mrs. Brice saying, “I'm calling you. What have you got?”
However, the dialogue that “capped” the scene was trimmed. (It was also another Strakosh character moment that was excised!)
MRS. STRAKOSH
That lovely Mr. Arnestein. I knew she'd see him again. I put the idea in their heads. I planted a little seed.
MRS. BRICE
You planted a little seed on Henry Street and a year later a tree grows in Baltimore.
Trims & Cuts. Scene 122—140. “Sadie, Sadie, Married Lady”
It seems that Sadie, Sadie was recorded and filmed one way, then some of it re-filmed again with a new opening lyric and vocal by Streisand.
