A few years after that the movie "The Dam Busters" was made in England.  
It was the true story of a bombing squadron in WWII that used a newly 
invented "bouncing bomb" to destroy dams in Germany.

One of the pilots had a black dog whose name was "Nigger".

Naturally redubbed in the US release.

As well as this, I remember from my youth a British comedy (made in the 
'70s) which was a parody of the famous book about a black stallion 
called "Black Beauty".

The comedians are trying to decide on a name for the horse they have 
found, and one says:
"Oh he's so black and he's such a beauty, I'll call him... 'Nigger'"
(The line was deliberately meant to shock.)
