masturbation reference

I don't remember the line exactly but when I first saw this movie I was surprised by the following exchance:
FANNY: Did you think about me often, Mr. Conderly?
CONDERLY: Once in a while, when I was in the shower.

Actually, the line went like this: "Jim, do you ever think about the old days here at Gramercy Park?". Jim Conderley (played by John Alexander) replies "Now and then--in the shower.".

I must have seen this movie 10 times over the years, but yesterday was the first time I ever really noticed that line. I laughed out loud! Can't believe the censors let that one pass.

clearly you need to watch more 1940's movies then.

I saw the documentary "the Celluloid Closet" on coded talk in 1940's etc. movies. One was a scene from "Red River." Montgomery Cliff and John Ireland have target practice with six guns. Ireland says to Cliff, with a smile, "I'll show you mine if you show me yours." Cliff was a bisexual in real life and was 28 but looked much younger in this movie.

I don't know everything. Neither does anyone else

Montgomery Clift was not bisexual--he was gay.

Nope, Clift was bisexual. He had sexual relationships with both women and men.

Yes, wonder how that was received back in the day...
