I remember when this first came out with the alternative US spelling that somebody told me that, as well as this, the film, "The Madness of King George III" was renamed just, "The Madness of King George" for the American market. The reasoning being it was assumed that Americans would say to themselves that they hadn't seen "The Madness of King George I" or "II" so wouldn't bother to watch it.
I've always assumed that this was apocryphal. Is it?
