The dialogue from the film playing inside the movie theater when Alice first walks in and sits down can be heard in the original theatrical version and on earlier VHS editions, but the dialogue has been dubbed out from later VHS and DVD releases so that you can only hear the background piano music instead. The missing audio can be heard on Blu-ray if you select the "English Original Theatrical" audio track, but is missing from the "English DTS-HD Master Audio" track.
Oddly enough, if you play the film with the closed captions or subtitles features, the dialogue will still appear on screen, even though nobody can be heard talking. The missing dialogue is as follows:
- Man: See ya, Alvin.
- Boy: Hey, he ain't no paper man.
- Girl: Why, don't you know him? That's "Hot Fingers" Curly.
- Boy: Boy, he really swings out hoppin' with a jive. You want to dance?
- Girl: Do I?
