GregoryPeckfan Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 The only things I can think of: I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry (2007) Quarantine (2008) I wish I could come up with more/better films; seeing as my grandfather was a Boston firefighter for decades. Unfortunately I can't think of anything else. Good for your grandfather Paul. People who have jobs like that are the people who help make us safe. We had an evening when the fire alarm went off and it turned out that a wire had been pinched - no fire - but it could have been and firefighters are willin to sacrifice their lives for others. There was recently a funeral for a local firefighter who succumbed to his injuries after fighting a fire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopBilled Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 Didn't realize there were so many, Paulll. I think Tina Louise also appeared in Playboy in the late 50s, around the time she made GOD'S LITTLE ACRE. But I am not sure if she was fully nude. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopBilled Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 I believe CHRISTOPHER GEORGE posed for Playgirl, circa 1974. Andrew Prine, who's worked in television and films, was also one of the first Playgirl centerfolds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Gorman Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I reckon the ending of Hitchcock's movie SUSPICION (1941) was changed due to the censors. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopBilled Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 I reckon the ending of Hitchcock's movie SUSPICION (1941) was changed due to the censors. Due to censors or test audiences. FOREVER AMBER ran into censorship troubles, but that was to be expected given the themes in the book. In 1976, Columbia Pictures bought the rights to distribute Brian De Palma's OBSESSION. But Columbia felt an incest theme had to be muted. With clever editing, a scene where Cliff Robertson married and had sex with a character who turns out to be his daughter is instead shown as a dream, or projection of his fantasies-- so that incest never really happened, except in his own mind.

LonesomePolecat Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 in the play version of The Seven Year Itch the main character does have an affair with the girl (played in the film by Marilyn Monroe), but the censors made them change it so that they never actually do anything because they said adultery should not be a subject for comedy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulll Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Gone With the Wind (1939). The censors had the filmmakers soften the story's war and racism aspects. They also had the filmmakers go easy with the childbirth scene. Interestingly enough, they also wanted the infamous line, "Frankly, my dear... I don't give a damn!" removed from the movie, and luckily the filmmakers fought that tooth and nail and won! A VERY memorable movie character ending! A Streetcar Named Desire (1951). The Catholic Legion of Decency "condemned" the film due to the rape scene . 3 minutes were cut from that scene to please. Kazan was not too thrilled about the changes, however the movie was still VERY successful! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarshaKatz Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 These Three (1936) directed by William Wyler and based on Lillian Hellman's play "The Children's Hour". Hellman's play was based on a true story about two Scottish schoolteachers who were falsely accused of having a lesbian relationship which destroyed their lives. The movie version was changed to a rumor that one of the teacher's had slept with the other's fiancé due to the Hays Production Code. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIPPER Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 "THE WINNING TEAM" (1952)......The film is a reasonable accurate account into Grover Cleveland Alexander's (Ronald Reagan) career , except for white washing his alcohol problem and Warner Bros. refused to allow any mention of Alexander's epilepsy. Amiee Alexander (Doris Day) was hired as the story consultant and provided the writers with valuable insight into the personality and habits of her husband. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
