The strangest thing in this movie?


As I'm watching I notice they deliberate bleeped out name Mettcaf. (AAT)

With that said the movie was very good.

Though a remake of another film, "Metcalf" may have been a real person's name the film references, and since the first film was done precode, and this one post code, that could be why the audio was lowered in that scene.

A theory.

Hmmm...

It's clear that each occurrence of the name has been overdubbed--pretty crudely--throughout.

But all of the newspaper headlines with the character's name in them at the end (and I think the end credits) use the name "Moett". I wonder if they made (or were forced to make) the change at some point in deference to the Moett champagne brand?
