Although I loved this movie, I have to say that this movie was definitely racy for its time! Along with how shocking it was that divorce was mentioned, there was cheating (I guess in a sense adultery), talk of being a home-wrecker, excessive drunkenness, etc... Just very surprising because there were a lot more stipulations on proper behavior and etiquette during that time, as well as a huge emphasis on the importance of having the perfect "American" family with the loyal stay-at-home mother, hardworking father, two kids, and a dog all in a house with a white picket fence. I believe censorship was also huge then to boot. --Erin L. | Although I loved this movie, I have to say that this movie was definitely racy for its time!

Luckily his prediction has not come true, as mutually assured destruction, among a few other things, as prevented atomic/nuclear war. - Michael G. |
