Description
"On its release, the film's anti-military tone was subject to criticism and censorship. Even the American military banned it from being shown at its European bases.
Both active and retired personnel from the French military vehemently criticized the film - and its portrayal of the French Army - after it was released in Belgium. The French government placed enormous pressure on United Artists, (the European distributor) to not release the film in France. The film was eventually shown in France in 1975 when social attitudes had changed.
In Germany, the film was withdrawn from the Berlin Film Festival to avoid straining relations with France; it was not shown for two years until after its release. Spain's right-wing government of Francisco Franco objected to the film. It was first shown in 1986, 11 years after Franco's death.
In Switzerland the film was censored, at the request of the Swiss Army, until 1970."
