Latest older films to be reclassified by the BBFC:
"Ivanhoe" (1952) (Robert Taylor, Elizabeth Taylor, Joan Fontaine) from U to PG
"The Three Musketeers" (1948) (Gene Kelly, Lana Turner) also from U to PG

and a more recent film "Casper" (1995) from PG to a 12A for a cinema re-release. For thus re-release the BBC made a cut to the film. They say:
"This work had a compulsory cut made. A cut was required to remove a misleading category symbol. Cut made in accordance with BBFC policy."
It's not a film I've seen so can;t shed any light as to what that's about but it's very unusual. Cuts are generally only made where it's necessary to get the rating that the distributors want or to exclude illegal content such as actual animal cruelty.

'Ivanhoe' & The Three Musketeers, I've seen both those films.....can't think why the reclassification

'Casper' I've not seen, although I think my children may have seen the cartoon.
I believe the film is somewhat darker

"The City at the Edge of Forever" is one of the best episodes of Star Trek and one of Joan Collins's most likeable acting performances.
There's an 1971 British film called "Quest for Love" which starred Joan Collins and Tom Bell. As with "The City at the Edge of Forever" Like "The City at the Edge of Forever" it's technically a science fiction film but closer to a romantic drama rather than sf. It's not an outstanding film but Collins and Bell are surprisingly good in it.
