This film hints strongly at some very adult themes such as when Paul and his two colleagues swim over to the French girls and it is strongly inferred that unmarried sex has taken place. Also there is some very brief nudity in several places and some mild blasphemy. A handful of years later the Hays code was introduced to prevent such matters being repeated in future films. The Hays code was rigidly enforced in the latter part of the 1930s, throughout the 40s, and most of the 1950s, finally starting to be ignored in the 1960s. As this film had several re-releases in the years afterwards it is assumed it became a victim of the censors. Most of the surviving cut scenes were restored by Universal in 1980 under the guidance of original director Lewis Milestone, who died not long after.
