Love on the Dole

There was considerable difficulty getting the film released in the US. The Production Code Administration found "insufficient compensating moral values for illicit sex", and objected to the profanity and use of vulgar expressions, and even favourable reviews in the Irish Catholic press failed to sway their opinion. In 1945, Anglo-American agreed to record additional dialogue suggesting that Sally and Grundy were married, cut eighteen pages of the script and the scene where Mrs Hardcastle bathes her husband.

Unlike many of the other characters, Deborah Kerr does not have a Lancashire accent.
