The Aftermath

Keira Knightly uses a body double for the nude scenes in the film. After giving birth to her daughter in May 2015, Kiera Knightley, who had been naked onscreen several times since she was 16, announced that she will no longer perform nude. She said that in the past she didn't mind exposing her breasts because "they're so small people really aren't that interested," but not any longer. "I have been comfortable earlier with more nudity than I am now. I have had a kid, I am in my 30s, I am very happy with my body," the actress revealed. "But I don't feel I need to get it out that much any more." She's added that she's fine if movies use body doubles, but she won't be stripping naked herself for any reason.

A main subplot of the movie is Lewis having to deal with protests, and underground resistance to Allied occupation. While there was naturally some social discontent, public resistance to the Allies in the West was virtually unheard of. Germany had spent the war years under strict iron rule from the Nazis; the idea of a holding a protest to the people of Hamburg would seem absurd and suicidal.

For the film's Australian release, the distributor chose to make reductions to stronger sexual detail in two scenes in order to obtain an M classification. The uncut version of the film was later released with an MA15+ classification for a DVD/Video release.
