Veronica Lario in Tenebre (1982)
One of the film’s most excessively violent scenes features the death of Jane (played by Lario). For TV broadcasts, the scene was cut to insignificance in the 1990s, when Lario married future Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
According to Alan Jones, Berlusconi “did not want the public seeing his wife so explicitly murdered, even if it was in a film by his country’s premier horror expert”. For a few years, it was impossible to legally see the uncensored version of the film in Italy, as prints were withdrawn altogether.
