Here's a story I learned doing research for a paper on censorship in high school. The scene with Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe making out on the boat almost didn't make it past the censors - too steamy for 1957. Billy Wilder protested that it was the most crucial scene in the movie, but to no avail. Marilyn heard about it and asked the studio censor why not. He said that the kissing, with her lying on top of Tony, just implied sexual intercourse too strongly. Marilyn, without a hint of irony, innocently said, "Oh, well you can do that standing up, too." The censor was speechless - "You got me, Miss Monroe. The scene can stay."
