I think Maureen O'Sullivan SWEARS in this film!!

I rewound the film and during the party in Dwights apartment, an inebriated O'Sullivan says "you know, we're being awfully 'shilly'". The man she was talking to says "I know, we are silly". To which she responds "Silly? I didn't say silly." When asked "well, what DID you say", she laughs and says "I said sh...thats funny I CAN'T SAY WHAT I SAID". That little inside joke is a tip-off that a swear had slipped by the censors by confusing them with the implication of a word, "shilly," that sounds JUST LIKE the swear!

In other words, THEY COULDN'T PROVE that the word she used wasn't shilly, so it stayed in the film!

My mouth almost hit the floor. This has to be the EARLIEST instance of a swear in film history, and even if the actual word spoken WAS "shilly" (and believe me, its spoken so that you really cannot tell), her admission that she "can't say" the word is the indicator that WE were intended to HEAR something else. And we do!

What a sly, subversive film this is. There is ALOT of truthful human behavior in this film, particularly Maureen O'Sullivan's character...she is wonderful in this movie. Personally, I find it more enjoyable than Grand Hotel.
