Hi, I realize this is late as your posting was back in Jan., but have just signed on to this forum and I was intrigued when I read it. Every time I've seen the W of OZ on TV I always wonder what happened to the first scene with Miss Gulch and her black cat. I first saw the film at a drive-in, I think it was 1957 or 58, and from what I remember from my mom this was the first time it had been shown since its original run. I might be mistaken but I vaguely recall Miss Gulch shooing Toto with a broom as he raced around her chasing the cat. Anyway I'm with you, feeling strongly that there was originally some such scene at that time, that has perhaps since been cut for TV.

British film, probably circa 1930's: A boy and girl, perhaps 12 year old cousins are visiting at a large manor house, and find an old clock while exploring. During the course of the film they periodically change the hands of the clock, and are able to observe themselves at later ages looking down from second floor windows or upstairs halls, as their relationship changes. I feel sure the boys name was Roger in the film. Does anyone know the name of this film or how it turned out? I watched it as a child on TV at my grandparents home, but my parents and I left before the movie was over. I watch a lot of old movies but I've never seen this one again. It's been driving me crazy for years wondering how it ended. Thanks for any info.
