In this spread, an artist has removed one letter from a famous movie title and drawn a picture of what that might look like.
While we can't necessarily draw pictures, we can remove one letter (or number) from a movie title, and describe the results.

After much deliberation and soul-searching at MGM, somebody had a brainwave, and it was decided on a 1982 remake, introducing Julie Andrews as well as adapting the film title, which promptly resulted in a box office hit.
