I had forgotten that episode. LOL

Do you know WHY "THE MOON IS BLUE" was banned in some cities and considered " shocking" ? For one word......." pregnant ", being uttered. That's it; that's what the fuss was all about; that and the fact that the woman who said it was not married. No, she wasn't pregnant, she just said the word.

Just damn! I've never seen the movie, so I didn't know why it had been banned. My impression was that it was too risque for the times. It's interesting how a word like pregnant back then would be like uttering a 4 letter word today, and the word pregnant is as common in the American lexicon these days as just another word.

My how times change. LOL

Thanks for that bit of trivia BTW! One learns something new everyday on this board. LOL
