I’m pretty sure Adolf Hitler had a similar reaction to Charlie Chaplin’s “The Great Dictator”... but Hollywood didn’t go into paroxsyms of fear about offending him. They released it anyway.

The studios were worried that they would lose Germany as a foreign market for their films.

The film did get released (1940 but not without challenge and corporate politics.

What's crazy is that Paramount has prohibited theaters from screening Team America in place of The Interview.

But they DID release it, is the point.
