My favourite movie.

But I'd never heard it got chopped about by the censors. The version I know (and own on DVD) seems to be unmutilated.

The American release deleted a number of scenes (including the children's play-fight) and added new narration and a frame-story with Johnson and his fiancée after the war, to make it more relatable to an American audience; I've never watched any of this material. The BFI supervised the restoration of the original version during the Archers renaissance in, I guess, the '80's, and that's what's currently available on DVD.

I love the play fight.

I've read about the American release but I've never come across it. I'd like to think it's no longer current
