The film was granted an A-Certificate by the British Board of Film Censors on 30 March 1967. The A-Cert signified that the film was "more suitable" for adult audiences. However, in order to receive the A-Cert, the movie had to be cut from its original running time of about 85 minutes to approximately 83 minutes. Details of the required cuts are not known.

The film's running time in the U.S. is the full 85 minutes. It carries no rating as it was released before the MPAA film ratings system went into effect on 1 November 1968.
