I’ve noticed that American movies from the 1940s or 50s have their content “toned down” when it comes to depictions of sex or violence, even in romance where the lead characters kiss (they pause every 3 seconds) with zero nudity except maybe a bra & crime or noir flicks always involving the protagonist/s winning (like the narrative shows police must be victorious rather than admitting defeat towards criminals) to list a few.
That’s interesting. So the implication they were avoiding is that unmarried actors would never even be in the same bed under the covers under lights with a full cast and crew filming them? Wild. Or maybe it’s just something Lucy was able to insist on, and that she was married gave the studio a way to forbid it for everyone else.
