At the time of its release, blasphemy was considered a common-law offense in the U.K., and the British Board of Film Censors was concerned that this movie's premise would offend religious groups. Stanley Donen defended this movie against such claims. To prove his point, Donen claimed that he screened this movie to a London rector and the Arch Deacon of Westminster Abbey, both of whom took no offense to this movie. After that assurance, the case was dropped. By 2005, standards about what could be considered blasphemous in Britain had been relaxed such that when this movie was resubmitted to what was now called the British Board of Film Classification, the only problem they had was with a particular scene involving Stanley's hanging attempts, which had the potential to be considered a glamorous depiction of suicide. (The solution was raising this movie's previous "PG" rating to a "12".)
