"Winner By A Hare" original ending scene resurfaces

[Nelson]

For the first time the original ending to the classic Harveytoon aka Paramount 1953 cartoon short, "Winner By A Hare" has been rediscovered for the first time in a couple decades.The ending of the cartoon has Moe Hare(after he wins a race against Tommy)commiting sucide by blowing his brains out in a very violent graphic scene that has never aired on televison.


If you check out Jerry Beck's web-site (in the store dept.) and click on at the bottom of the screen "My Secret Stuff" and you will see images of the very graphic scenes.
