The John Huston film Freud the Secret Passion (1962) presented the discovery of psychoanalysis as a detective story in which Sigmund Freud, played by Montgomery Clift, descends into the darkest depths of the psyche.
A series of edits and erasures mark the history of the film: the screenplay was based on a complex scenario written by Jean-Paul Sartre and subsequently rewritten by a series of Hollywood screenwriters; further scenes were excised by the studio to make it acceptable to a broad audience; and nineteen minutes, including a key subplot, were edited out of the film when it was dubbed into German—Freud’s mother tongue.
In 2004 and 2005, artist Geoffrey Garrison composed the screenplay Freud’s Doppelgaenger as a fictional dramatization of the production of Freud the Secret Passion and the downfall of its star, Montgomery Clift. For the nineteen-minute video The Cut (2006), Garrison employed actors to re-enact scenes from his screenplay.
The Director's Cut contains both the screenplays Freud's Doppelgaenger and The Cut, as well as Deleted Scenes, a subplot that follows the failed marriage of Arthur Miller and Marilyn Monroe, the actress Sartre had wanted to play Freud's hysterical patient in the John Huston film.
