'Dad's Army', a comedy about the British Home guard set in WW2 (for those non-brits). The creators wanted the introduction credits to show actual footage of refugee's fleeing from their homes as the German army advanced. The Executive in charge thought that would be distasteful in a comedy. I'm with the Executive all the way (Though both creators did actually serve in the British army during WW2)


Also 'The Thin Red Line'

If ever a film needed some executive meddling.......
