Jane Wyatt, "Sondra", stated that the deletion of the High Lama's speech about peace, during Robert's first meeting with Father Pero ( Sam Jaffe) was done so at the request of the US government because.of the films release in the looming shadows of WW2. Ms. Wyatt stated they wanted no views of world peace so that young men would be in the "bang, bang, bang" mode. (available on the movie's recovered sound track & pieced into the re-release with these corrections) Ms. Wyatt, during the administration of president Franklin Roosevelt, was requested by them to arrange the performance of the Bolshoi Ballet during the war. This resulted with her being blackballed during the Senator Joe McCarthy era castigation of American citizens, who were supposedly "Red" (Communists) and not "true" citizens.
