TIL Casablanca fu bandito in Irlanda nel 1943 per aver ritratto la Francia di Vichy e la Germania nazista sotto una “luce sinistra”, che violava l’Ordine sui poteri di emergenza, che mirava a mantenere l’Irlanda neutrale durante la seconda guerra mondiale. Una versione con tagli fu rilasciata nel 1945 e una versione più completa nel 1974.

I’ve got a book about censorship in Ireland, it’s as thick as War and Peace. That it took until the 70s to see the film properly is indicative of what crippling country this once was.
Brilliant film btw, every line of dialogue is a zinger. Not a single second is dead air.
There’s some pile of wankers in that comment section. Claiming we were actually in favour of the Nazis and not neutral.
