Once Upon A Honeymoon (1/2)

This 1956 musical production was made to promote color telephones as household decorator accessories. You can gain a real appreciation for cordless and cell phones watching this. Remember when homes often had one telephone and you had to get up to answer it? Unthinkable today!

It is interesting to once again see two single beds for a married couple. I'm not sure what year the censors allowed married couples to be seen in one large bed but apparently this censorship continued in 1956. I kind of like the old fashioned stove-stop oven. I've seen them in homes before and, properly maintained, they just don't seem to wear out.

Hi Marc. Thank you for this answer. I had heard the information about one leg or foot on the floor (Johnny Carson talked about it on The Tonight Show once) but had no idea how long it lasted or how it originated.

According to tvacres . com, "The first TV program to show a husband and wife sharing the same bed on a regular basis occurred in 1947 on the Dumont sitcom MARY KAY AND JOHNNY. TV's first sitcom ever"

"Later in the 1950s Ozzie and Harriet broke the taboo and were seen in the same bed"

As far as movie censorship, the 1930s hayes code allowed a man and woman to share the same bed ONLY as long as one of them kept one leg on the floor.

Marc, I posted a reply to your informative comment a couple of days ago but I seem to have forgotten to click on "Reply." Thanks

You're not alone. I hate loud too.

Something else: I don't understand why movies which have been reformatted for television often don't have any adjustments to the audio volume. The highs are too loud and the lows are so low you have to raise the volume. Strange...

Thank you. The telecommunications industry has come a long way as has the movie industry. In fact, I think it's come too far :)
