Thanks for a very interesting piece on the banning of what would seem a very "innocent" film. Not to mention a Stan & Ollie film! However, I'm not surprised the Third Reich banned a film that presented Gypsies sympathetically since this was another ethnic group it was busily working to eliminate.<br /><br />I had no idea where the term "Gypsy" came from.
