Censorship
When Gefährdete Mädchen was first released in Italy in 1958, the Committee for the Theatrical Review of the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities rated the film suitable for people 16 years and older as long as the following frames were removed: the two dancers Alma and Annelore topless and Draga, topless, taking photographs of Sanders. The reason for the age restriction, cited in the official documents, was because of the corrupted and immoral environment in which the sequence takes place. The official document number is: 30750, it was signed on 10 December 1959 by Minister Domenico Magrì.
