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

I've actually seen the movie; it's as tame as tame can be. LOL

Few people here know what America REALLY was like, prior to their own lives.They make all kinds of assumptions, which are 100% in error. I know what life in America was, prior to my own time here, because I was fascinated hearing my grandmother tell me what her girlhood had been like and my great grandmother was also a great teller of past times too.

People really should talk to their parents and grandparents, before it's too late and also listen to what older people remember. Old newspapers are great fonts of news, but also open a window into what the world and culture and mores were like.Just reading the adds , is an eye opener.

I was a little girl, when " THE MOON IS BLUE " came out. I didn't see it the....children did NOT see " adult " movies back then! :-)
