Tonight on TCM 4 am.... I mean not just rarely seen, but the Honda that is NEVER seen.

That, & a few other radioactive films! THEM! starts at 9:30. I usually record these when in prime time, just to see what Ben Mankiewicz says about them, but HMan is on too late for such comments.

They never show the H Man! Never! And if you see it you will know why! The dance number?

I did not think it was as risque as you suggest it is. I did watch it this morning, & did not some partially exposed cheeks, but nothing more.

Yes.... But that was the cut version. They made them cut a few seconds. Of the girl eating seen

https://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=5070820 The H Man censored version. They showed a 4:3 version. Cut.

I looked at that page, & did not find much in the dance that I think was unacceptable by the then standards. Just looking at stills makes it difficult, but the one where she was on her back with one leg up may have been censored for content, but the others seemed just cut to focus on the plot. I myself find such content almost annoying, unless it somehow advances the plot; such as having the detectives conversation going while the dance is shown.

I still have the film on my DVR, as I anticipated references to certain parts.

I personally would have preferred the JLV, though I did enjoy Paul Frees voice work.
