great movie--Shame on Columbia for editing DVD, 25 July 2004
Author: TLW404 from ohio

Many classic scenes, Bombs Away, TV in the aquarium, Barbra's hands and heart placed just .....hovever, when the DVD company from hell released it on DVD, they censored a word that renders an entire scene meaningless.

It was an historic word also, the first time a star had ever

said it in a major film. F***!! The only time anyone has

ever censored Barbra to this day! Still a great comedy!

Sexy, funny and way ahead of its time! One of Bab's best! George's too!
