Cast

Like many American films of the time, Bright and Early was subject to restrictions and cuts by city and state film censorship boards. For example, the Chicago Board of Censors cut, in Reel 1, the entire scene of man taking small boy to bathroom and the child's actions outside the room, Reel 2, scene of man in women's underwear where man is peeking through keyhole, man and woman on floor where woman throws her legs up, and the woman on floor showing underwear dropping from her shoulders. Some of these scenes were also removed by the Kansas Board of Review, including a scene of Billy West rubbing a woman's foot.
