Unexpected additions to the censorship list came with a warming in the cold war. Egypt now rejects all slightly anti-communist films with the argument that there is no communist party in their country, and therefore no need for the propaganda. India has banned movies like "The Red Danube," and rejected newsreels that showed Stalin's death in "somewhat capitalistic" light. The French kept out "Hell and High Water" until certain controversial figures were eliminated, and Finland has recently banned "The Peking Express" and "Night People...
...point up: the first suggestion of relaxed control had been followed by the East German riots and by a ten-day strike of slave laborers in the Vorkuta prison camps.

His four figures are intended to signify Italy, Germany, and two aspects of the French soul, all sent on a fool's errand to pull U.S. chestnuts out of the fire. The propaganda is mostly vicious and irresponsible, occasionally clearsighted, always clever. U.S. audiences, however, will not be subjected to most of it. Most of the hate-America stuff was hacked out of the original, which ran close to three hours...
