As far as censor issues go for this movie, I mostly think language and content was the issue--not cleavage. When comparing the chest size of Hughe's muse Jane Russell and Vivien Leigh it doesn't seem to be as big a deal you know? They weren't pushing the envelope much more than anyone else was back then. And plus, this was a BIG budget movie that was highly publicized and popular before filming even began so censors would not have even had much power over it. Alos keep in mind, they were probably sending things to the Prod. Code Office for approval throughout production. The two censor issues I know of were the lines "I don't give a damn" (got away with it cuz the emphasis was on "give" and not "damn" and the line "maybe you'll get luck and have an miscarriage" which had to be changed to "have an accident."--Jackie Reed | As far as censor issues go for this movie, I mostly think language and content was the issue--not cleavage.
