WB could not help due the purchase being made via amazon.com. So...I am replacing the first copy and just received the second. AND, wouldn't you know...there is NO Lena Horne number ("L0VE") on this second copy either. I know it should be there because of he reviews like blu-ray.com. So, I am requesting a refund from amazon.com.

I don't understand why there is a batch of blu-ray's on this film that has this edit.

FYI...most reviewers don't watch the bonus features and just list what comes on the press release (there's not enough time to watch the movie and all of the supplements). If the press release was incorrect, then so is there review.

Thanks, David

I can simply resolve the issue by viewing my old DVD copy which is what I should have done in the first place!

This very detailed review also mentions the " Love " number - 


ZIEGFELD FOLLIES: Blu-ray (MGM, 1946) Warner Archive (nixpixdvdmoviereviewsandmore.blogspot.com)

Weird !

AVSCraig,

...WOW!! What an incredible review! I never heard of this site until your suggestion and looked up my favorite musical (MGM or otherwise): The Band Wagon and he is spot on.

Thanks for the referral.

...well...I finally pulled out the old DVD of Ziegfeld and, what do you know, Lena Horne follows Fannie Brice and is included in the "scene" selection menu (and the number actually does exist on the DVD).

Now the question is: why have I received and need to return two (2) copies of the blu-ray because the number is not there? Even the song selection menu does not include it. There must be a reason for this unless amazon.com has received a fake supply for sales? I can't believe the WB would delete Ms. Horne's performance unless there is some compelling reason for it. AND, as others have stated, it is on the blu-ray. 

..so...I'm stuck with the DVD which, by the way, is not that bad seen on a 4K projector, until some time further down the line I'll think of purchasing it again but, perhaps, from another vendor.
