where is the kiss

[SueSnell]

Which is considered much more romantic and erotic than shoving their tongues down each other's throats. :)

The censor board at the time prevented films from having more than 3 seconds of constant kissing at any one time. This was how Hitchcock got around that particular rule.

well, you can't see their hands at all times...

Y cant my life be like thiiiiiiis

[Cheeseman2271]

it would suck if one of them had bad breath :P

[maudlinly]

the Production Code of 1930 prohibited any kissing lasting longer than three seconds. What makes this a great kiss, is the fact that Alfred Hitchcock worked around the rule of three-second-kissing only by having the two actors break off every three seconds (:

Aww what's wrong with this kiss..its hot!

[dominic avalos]

DARN Sarcastic Title.

[Ishmael Tarwater]

mom, go to bed. you're drunk.

[Laura Simpson]

Sometimes less is much more. It's subtle and can leave things to your own imagination, which is better than anything that could be shown on screen. :)

It's the same reason why I don't consider any of the Saw films remotely scary. They're too explicit and in your face, you sort of become desensitized, in a way.

I just found out about this scene from Wikipedia's article on the Hays Code.
