As I recall, it was also forbidden to have a shooter in the same frame as who he was in the process of shooting. Also, couples could be in the same bed as long as each one had a foot on the floor. I always thought it was crazy that married people in 1950s and later series slept in twin beds.
So there is no way to have intercourse with one foot on the floor each? Funny rule. Wonder how they thought them up.
I hear Lucille Ball insisted on sharing the same bed with her real husband of that time; Ricky Ricardo. Nobody’s feet were on the floor.
When she became pregnant with little Lucy, Lucille again insisted on appearing in front of the cameras as obviously with child. It was time for the TV world and it’s public to grow up a little bit.
