** Interestingly enough, the original ending had the wolf marrying Grandma and having children who are [[HalfHumanHybrids half human, half wolf]]. To the censors this reminded them way too much of bestiality (on top of that, the wedding wasn't depicted as a happy event; the Wolf was handcuffed to the Grandma, implying that this [[ShotgunWedding was forced on him]]), so the ending was changed in one where the Wolf tells the audience that he'll blow his brains out if he sees another beautiful woman (and does when Red performs on stage again).

The pause was inserted to replace the line "You Son of a Bitch", which would be inappropriate for a film at the time. This is much similar to a gag in the Warner Bros. cartoon ''The Draft Horse''.
