It was cut. It was shot for the film but edited out before release, as was the duet portion of “You’ll Never Get Away From Me.” In each case the edit is awkward.

The outtakes can be seen on the DVD version. Russell sings in both cases, so the decision to edit must have been an early one. “Together,” raspily croaked or not, is charming.

I believe the outtakes were a gift to and from Karl Malden, who enjoyed working on both numbers and was sorry to see them go. (The one number was abridged and the other was removed to reduce the running time of the film.)
