Sally Rand was also in this
film plus did a stint at the 1934 Chicago World's fair: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTEIWK9CaEs. NOTE: There is at least implied nudity . . . and if that doesn't go without saying
than your parents need to do a Google search for her!
Gypsy Rose Lee was . . . shall
we say . . . the First Lady of Burlesque?! She did do a strip tease in the movies . . . yes, she did, in 1943's
Stage Door Canteen! . . . but it was modified so the whole family could watch it. Of course, today's parents
might need to have garter belts and Balzac explained to them but that's presuming that the grandparents are familiar with
this clip! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-jEKVq38bY&feature=related.
On
the other hand we have censorship in the movies!
We have some articles that explain
what seems absolutely ridiculous these days with the language on broadcast televisions that would have made Maven blush to
tears . . . . We won't even mention the kinds of reactions that her mother, grandmother and Godmother would have had
. . . !!!
Then there was an article in Look
Magazine on January, 17, 1939:
Hollywood Censors Its Antimated Cartoons
