When he gets impaled in the eye, TCM cut it. I vividly remember watching this on local TV on a Thursday night in the early 60's and the kids at school all going "WOW". Does anybody else remember this?

Y'know, I thought something was missing in the scene. I even rewound it and played it again. I seemed to remember the torch going into his eye - but why would TCM cut it? I'll guess that the print they used was already "sanitized".
