A poster showed a Greek guerrilla standing atop the Acropolis; in Bulgarian, French and English were the words: "Out of the flames and ruins of Anglo-American occupation and Monarcho-Fascism, a free and democratic Greece is rising...
...bring in money for at least six months (only those films which were imported after the tax was announced are subject to it). Another was that Britain's tax, although set upas an import duty, seemed in effect an income tax-and therefore in violation of an Anglo-American agreement designed to prevent double taxation on incomes. Hollywood felt that perhaps Britain could not make the tax stick...
