The Criterion Blu-ray edition of Bob Fosse’s iconic 1979 showbiz drama All That Jazz hit shelves recently, but for diehard fans, there’s even more Fosse-related goodness that didn’t make it onto the disc.

Though a legal challenge was unlikely, Seitz says the video was axed because “if one did happen, and if Criterion either went to court and lost or decided to fold before it came to that, they’d have to physically recall all the discs and reprint them with a reedited version of my piece (or without the piece).
