Censorship in Italy

When Schmutziger Angel was first released in Italy in 1959, the Committee for the Theatrical Review of the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities reviewed the film. In order for the film to be screened publicly, the Committee recommended the removal of the frames in which a female character exposed her breasts. The reason for the restriction, cited in the official documents, is that the sequence was considered to be offensive to decency.
