They considered condoms volgar but "sex- breakfast of champions" was ok?


All in all it was a good movie

It was vulgar to get money to put their ads on the car... Indeed they didn't want ads of cigarettes either.

Banning the cigarette ads came later. Back in those days "The Pill" was the greatest invention known to man. In the pre HIV/AIDS days if you got a dose of "The Old Joe" you went to the clap clinic, got your baloney checked out, got your prescription and you were right back in action. I was at Monaco in '76 front row Ste. Devote. Met Hunt Friday night at the Hotel de Paris with his new girlfriend (Jane Birbeck?), Suzy was long gone. I was just a young guy then who traveled to Monaco to see my sports heroes on my college commencement. I picked up my degree when I got home. The memories... I had a room at the Hotel Balmoral, now demolished, $37.50 USD per day included breakfast and dinner.

Back in the early to mid seventies ... the setting of this film ... they were very, very happy to have tobacco sponsorship.🐭
