If you really want to see a great kiss just slow motion the kiss between these two when they are going through the storm at sea! Boy, now that was a great kiss!! No peck on the lips for those two!!! I need a cigarette!!!!
Oh, yes. Tallulah dahling was noted for her erotic enthusiasm. Constantly pursued by would-be lovers, Tallu frequently allowed herself to be caught, and the gender of her lovers was of no concern to her.
She delighted in shocking people. During the 1930s, when such things were not even mentioned, she would open conversations at parties with, "Hello. I'm a lesbian. What do you do?"
She allegedly bedded (or tried to bed) each of her leading men. None of the bios I've read have mentioned Hodiak as one of her lovers, but if that kiss is any indication, she sure put all she had into bagging him.

During filming, several crew members noted that Tallulah Bankhead was not wearing underwear. When advised of this situation, Alfred Hitchcock observed, "I don't know if this is a matter for the costume department, makeup, or hairdressing."
What's remarkable is how Zanuck and Hitchcock got that kiss past the Breen Office, as "open-mouthed" kisses were verboten under the rewritten 1934 Production Code.
It was not just Bankhead's move - the studly Hodiak gives Judy Garland TWO face-sucking kisses in "The Harvey Girls." The second, in particular, is a genuine wowzer!
