This was cut by MGM without Lean's consent

On my recently acquired LD of Russell's THE BOY FRIEND (another one only available in widescreen on that format), the notes include an explanation of how several films in production at MGM in the early 1970s were cut without the director's consent after a new studio boss took over (it was some guy from CBS). THE BOY FRIEND suffered this fate, as well as several other films including RYAN'S DAUGHTER. At least THE BOY FRIEND was eventually restored. Was RYAN'S DAUGHTER ever released in a restored version? Did it make a difference? (I haven't seen this)
