What happens

The Winner is a 1996 film directed by Alex Cox and written by Wendy Riss based on her play A Darker Purpose. The film was substantially re-edited by its executive producers, Mark Damon and Rebecca De Mornay, and the original score – by Cox's longtime collaborators Pray for Rain – was replaced by a jazz score. Cox requested that his name be removed from the credits. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
