 While in post-production, the wartime Bureau of Motion Pictures (BMP) screened a copy of "Princess O'Rourke" and strenuously objected to the film.Unlike other feature productions, a script had not been pre-approved by the BMP.Nelson Poynter, the director of the liaison office in Hollywood, stated that the film was an example of studios "... recklessly using the war for background incidents in an opportunistic attempt to capitalize on the war rather than interpret it."
