"Re: CLEMENTINE--it is not inaccurate to call it Ford's cut. The changes were made by Zanuck."

I do not have the old fox dvd handy, but the supplemental material makes it clear that Ford's cut was even longer, that this pre-release version still reflects Zanuck's interference, including some reshoots not by Ford.

For the sake of continuity, additional editorial work was also necessary by the restoration staff to cover for shots missing from the lone surviving print of the preview version. That print was also missing the first reel entirely.

So this is more like an intermediate version between Ford's cut and the release version.
