 In spring of 1933 this film was submitted to the New York State  Board of Censors, who rejected it, demanding a number of cuts and  changes. Warner Brothers made these changes prior to the films  release in July 1933. In 2004, a "dupe negative" copy of the film as  it existed prior to being censored was located at the Library of  Congress. This uncensored version received its public premiere at  the London Film Festival in November 2004, more than 70 years after  it was made.
