What Movies Have You Seen Lately?

How did they get away with this? This was 1963,

Because it was 1963 and was meant
as an innocent remark, not a sexual
reference.

I have to disagree there. After Pussy introduced herself, JB said something like "I must be dreaming," with a goofy look on his face.

“Plenty O’Toole” from “Diamonds are Forever” is still my favorite Bond girl name.

It was a different time. I think 10 years earlier would have seen more of an uproar, but adult fare had been pushing in from Europe since the 50’s, and standards were slipping in large American cities since then.

And now you'd be stoned to death as
a sexist. When Fleming wrote those
books, men could say whatever they
wanted to and about women. Pussy
Galore? Try naming a character that
today.

I think the official punishment is 'sweep Starbuck's floors' for some indeterminate time.
Atleast this was suggested as Jian Ghomeshi's punishment.

B: Hello. Breakfast for one at nine please. Green figs, yoghurt, coffee, very black.Thank you.
T: You look surprised. I thought you were expecting me.
B: So you are Tatiana Romanova?
T: My friends call me Tania.
B: Mine call me James Bond. Well, now that we've been properly introduced...
T: Careful! Guns upset me.
B: I'm sorry. I'm a bit upset myself. You look just like your... your photograph.You're one of the most beautiful girls I've seen.
T: Thank you, but I think my mouth is too big.
B: No, it's the right size. For me, that is.

I suspect double innuendo was the most they could get away with. If you look at the clip he kisses her on the mouth just after he says that. I'm sure the screenwriters would simply accuse the censors of having a dirty mind.

I'm afraid I don't follow. Are you disagreeing with yourself?

He meant her mouth was just big enough
for him to kiss. Nobody in a 1962 audience
would think he meant it was big enough
for his penis. People hadn't been trained
yet to think everything was a thinly veiled
sexual innuendo. I never heard the F
word uttered till 1965. If you had asked
me or my friends in 1962 what a blow
job was, we would have no idea.

What I sheltered life you must have had EB. I was in grade 9 in 1962 in a little hick town in Canada and we all knew what a blow job was.

The second paragraph of your post begins: "I have to disagree there."
