Edit
Trivia The film version of the hit London play it's a Two Foot Above the Ground World was filmed under that title and was advertised as such when it due for its London launch including a lot of posters on London's underground then at the last minute the title was changed to The Love Ban which meant nothing and consequently did poorly at the box office.
