The film was premiered in the UK at the Columbia Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue, London at its full 161 minute length in October 1959. Columbia's UK division then asked Preminger to cut the film by 20 minutes which he did on the understanding that the cut version would only be shown in small town cinemas, but not in London. Columbia then supplied the cut version to its regular UK outlet, Rank, for general release including London. Preminger was furious , especially as Rank inserted an intermission which the director did not authorize.
