...course, Jack Kirkland's script did not land here intact. Moral mutilation by the Boston censor cut some choice lines but did not truly serve the ends of prudery. Sacrificing a good show for a bawdy one, the actors uniformly overplayed their parts, accenting suggestive leers, to turn a fairly mature comedy into a long smutty joke...
Back in the days when Farouk was Egypt's king, almost any reference in TIME to Egyptian politics became an automatic candidate for the censor's scissors. TIME was banned in Egypt for half of 1948 and most issues in 1949 had stories snipped out.

To do this, Mr. Inge would have to be an artist. Instead, he is a talented censor, able to sort and to rearrange the various trivia of living, conversation and action, combining a significant grouping of these, to create an excellent reproduction...
