'I think my mouth is too big'
"No...it's the right size...(shot of Tatiana's mouth with tongue moving around within)... for me, that is"
I love the innuendo!!!!!! Classic Bond!
I always wondered if this wasn't extremely daring and rude for a 1963 film
shareBond kisses her right afterward, so overtly the line seems to refer to kissing, and that's how they got away with it. Although things were loosening up fast by the early 60s, a direct reference to oral sex would probably not have made it into a mainstream film. However, this was 1963 not 1863, so the audience certainly got the double entendre.
I once had a hilarious and pointless internet argument (is there any other kind?) with some guy who insisted that fellatio was "practically unknown" until Deep Throat. smh
To essex9999: I agree with you and it's funny regarding the argument you had "with some guy who insisted that fellatio was 'practically unknown' until Deep Throat." That guy must be very naïve! Fellatio (and cunnilingus) have both existed as long as there have been human beings and probably going all the way back to Neanderthals and apes before that! If you look up "Fellatio" on Wikipedia there is posted there a depiction of fellatio which is dated to 510 B.C. That's 2,500 years ago! 2,500 years ago though is just a drop in the proverbial bucket, fellatio and cunnilingus probably go back 1 to three million years ago (approximately 3 million years ago would be the time of "Lucy", considered to be an early human ancestor). I believe that it's a foregone conclusion that these early beings practiced all sorts of sexual activity including fellatio and cunnilingus.

What I thought are daring for a 1963 film:
1. Rosa's intimation of lesbianism toward Tatiana.
2. Rosa and the other agent filming Bond and Tatiana having sex.

Plus the implied threesome Bond engages in with the Gypsy girls.
shareDon't forget the fact that we just briefly saw Tatiana naked as she got into bed.

True enough, although viewers in 1963 watching it on the cinema screen had just that fleeting glimpse and might have thought, "Wait--did I just see what I thought I'd seen?" Today, we can pause the DVD and run it in slow-motion to get that moment that was indeed eye-popping for its time.

People usually picked up on things like that back then. Especially a fleeting glimpse of nudity.
