* ReCut: The film originally had two endings: one with Queen Elizabeth's rousing anti-fascist speech and another without it. The former was used in Britain and other territories involved in the war at the time, while the latter was used in countries who were at the time neutral towards getting involved in the fight against Nazi Germany, particularly the United States. In recent years, the British version has become the default source for video and television copies.
