I know that the director Otto Preminger challenged the Hayes code more than once, so I was wondering, is this the first movie with the word "Bitch" in it??
Well, it came before "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" I guess so.
shareIt might be, but am not 100 percent certain. I'm not sure if 'bitch' was said in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, released one year prior to this, or not.
"Dry your eyes baby, it's out of character."
I know "Bullitt" (1968) was the first movie to use "bullsh*t"...
"I gotta go down my own road."
Actually I think "In Cold Blood" (1967) was the first film to use the bull word.
sharei aint sure...from the Bullitt trivia section: This was the first mainstream Hollywood film to use the expletive "Bullsh*t!" in its script.
"I'm the Police Chief. I know everything..."
Well, "In Cold Blood" was released one year before "Bullitt", the B-word is in the IMDB quotes section for "In Cold Blood"; and the Guiness Book of Film Records gives priority to "In Cold Blood". I think that overrules the IMDB trivia section. :)
sharei guess it does.
"I'm the Police Chief. I know everything..."
It's amazing how frank this film was for its time. It must be the first film to mention the word "sperm".
shareWhen I saw this movie years ago, I was shocked by so many things in the movie. Torn panties, flirting wives, sperm evidence, that i didn't even notice them use the word " bitch ". Can someone remind me?
By the way, I loved the movie, as shocked as I was!
The cell mate's testimony. He claimed that the husband said he was going to "knock that bitch to kingdom come," presumably for what he thought was adultery.

Tengo el presentimiento de que empieza la accion...
Also, the term "sexual climax" was mentioned. Was this the first time it was used also?

I think this had to be the first mainstream movie to talk about sperm. You don't hear sperm getting mentioned much in movies even nowadays. Actually I don't know if I've ever heard it elsewhere, they usually just use the word "semen".
shareBack in the early 1930's Joan Crawford refers to the other women in The Women by a term 'usually used in a kennel'. Close enough for me.
shareI'm not sure when "bitch" was first used, but in "Mutiny On The Bounty" (1962) Captain Bligh (Trevor Howard) uses the word "slut" as in
"Get that slut off my ship!".
.......I was quite shocked!
To me that's not close at all. Referring to it in such a roundabout way highlights that it was not something the censors would let them actually say.
