| Notes | Filmen inlämnades till censurering av United Artists, men i samband med premiären hade distributionen övertagits av AB Kungsfilm. När Kungsfilm gjorde konkurs övertogs distributionen 1951 av SF. United Artists fann det sannolikt onödigt att presentera filmen för censuren medan kriget ännu pågick - med tanke på filmens innehåll och "rikets förhållande till främmande makt" hade det blivit ett bergsäkert censurförbud. |
