FCUKING CENSORS

Cary Grant and Eva-Marie Saint in Hitchcock's classic North by Northwest
The original line:

Eve Kendall: I never make love on an empty stomach.

Censors felt the line was too risque for 50's audiences, so it was dubbed as:

Eve Kendall: I never discuss love on an empty stomach.

(sigh)

Still, North By Northwest is one of Alfred Hitchcock's best.
