An East German newspaper claimed that the film was well received in the United Kingdom. It was banned in West Germany and remained so some years after its release; some subsequent films directed by the Thorndikes were banned in Great Britain by the British Board of Film Classification.[4][5] The film has an alternate title of Krieg oder Frieden and is the best-known of the Thorndike films.[6][7]
