Because of a “C-Condemned” rating from the Catholic National Legion of Decency, first-run Broadway showcases refused to book the British import, so Universal-International rented the vacant playhouse for the launching. Experiencing similar resistance in other major cities, U-I finally made some cuts which earned the Legion’s A-II rating, which made it “morally objectionable for adults” instead of “forbidden” for all ages.
