Not because of the acting or even the political beliefs of the actors, but because something that was said in front of the camera offended a government agent who got the show axed.

One of the musical numbers in the broadway production of 1776 (Cool, Cool, Considerate Men) was removed from the movie release at the direct request of Richard Nixon. The mot recent release of the movie reinstated it.
