 When the film was originally released in France, the sequences of the nuns  singing "Maria" and the Mother Abbess singing "Climb Evry Mountain" were cut  as it was felt by the authorities that nuns singing non religious songs was  disrespectful. These two musical numbers were therefore only heard in their  "reprise" forms at Marias wedding (Maria) and the final scene of the film  (Climb Evry Mountain). On the 2005 40th Anniversary DVD, the French  Singalong version omits subtitles for these two songs.
