Censorship
Before Her Strange Wedding could be exhibited in Kansas, the Kansas Board of Review required the removal of all scenes where Lee is drinking on the ship, and to shorten the struggle in the bedroom between Coralie and Lee. Similarly, the Chicago Board of Censors removed the struggle scene, but also removed scenes of a bracelet theft and a shooting.
