Robin Williams 'Mrs. Doubtfire': Sally Field's Deleted Scenes Prove '90s Classic Was Drama

In the summer of 2014, the news of Robin Williams' death from suicide shocked the world, and tributes to the Oscar-winning actor and comedian poured in from all over, as many took to revisit some of his work. Now, deleted scenes from one his most iconic films, '90s Mrs. Doubtfire, have resurfaced, showing how real the movie was as a drama, not a comedy.

According to Cinema Blend, YouTube user Matthew Keys recently uploaded two deleted scenes from the 1994 movie that were probably taken out because of how heavily emotional they were. On them, the tension between Williams' character, Daniel, and ex-wife Miranda (Sally Field) is much more notorious, and the two fight in front of their children.

As you may remember, the reason Williams' character dresses up as Mrs. Doubtfire is to be able to see his children without supervision, spending the entirety of his time with them and bonding through being their "nanny" after his ex wife limits his visitation rights. While there are a lot of funny moments in the meantime, he's ultimately uncovered and things grow even more uncomfortable between the former spouses, with their three children stuck in the middle.

Although there's plenty more deleted material, the two scenes that just resurfaced (taken from the DVD and Blu Ray versions of the film) see Williams and Field's characters rowing, plus Williams having a sweet moment with on-screen daughter Lydia (Lisa Jakub). In the second scene, Lydia, the oldest of the couple's three children, screams that she hates him both.

As NME reports, the scenes were probably a bit too dark for the general mood the film was trying to portray, and they would have made it difficult for things to work out in the end for everyone. Still, it shows some of Williams' best work in drama, which is saying quite a bit of the man who starred in The Fisher King and One Hour Photo.
