b.		Producer Ben Judell bet the farm on this film. His desire for sensationalism to generate profits blew up in his face. He spent 1939 organizing Producers Distributing Corporation (what would be a precursor to a Judell-less PRC) around this film, its first release, but thanks to various pro-German censorship boards, especially in big markets, he was unable to get it inside critically important theaters.

Finally, at Robert Redfords suggestion, she agreed to do the endorsements - for a small "fee."

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Hitler - Beast of Berlin (1939)?

New York, Monday, November 13, 1939: Reversing a previous decision, the New York State Censor Board on Friday (November 10, 1939) passed "Hitler - Beast of Berlin" under the changed title of "Beasts of Berlin," with what was termed as a slight revision also being made within the film. Original rejection of the film by the New York (state) censors was on the ground that the film was "inhuman, sacrilegious and tended to incite crime." Producers Distributing Corporation, distributor of the film, is still battling to get a MPPDA (Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, later changed to MPPA)code seal before opening the picture in New York. It is understood that the Hays office was withholding the seal, due to the films original title - "Hitler - Beast of Berlin."
