   Backchecking, it was apparently 1951.  The specific incident was at a   
   USIA film archive in Singapore, where a bunch of Chinese were spending   
   quite a bit of time looking at the episode about the USSR in WW2, and   
   an information officer at the embassy got bothered by that and   
   complained.   
      
   Thereafter the print was removed from the USIA archive files and not   
   shown for several decades.
