For the original American release, all the scenes of Deborah Kerr in Ireland with her boyfriend were deleted. US censors didn't think American audiences would accept a nun with a past. Of course the scenes are crucial to understanding the character and the effects of the mountains on the women. ~~~ That’s Entertainment
