After years of wrangling, Producer Howard Hughes tidied up the film (and his ads) and received an official purity seal in 1949. **Others now shooting: The Littlest Show on Earth, an Italian 3-D spoof of Cecil B. De-Mille's 1951 circus epic, The Greatest Show on Earth: Public Enemy No. i, a lampoon of Hollywood gangster films, with French Comic Fernandel...
