What ever happened to movies like "Silver Steak"? They used to imply things so adults would know what was going on, but it went over the children's head.
One of the things about Silver Streak that made the movie was Gene Wilder's reaction every time he got thrown off the train, and the first time on TV they bleeped the phrase. In this case I don't think any other phrase would have worked. I think the movie came out in 75 so see how far we have regressed. Nothing is bleeped anymore and writers don't know how to write a movie that hits all ages.
If anyone remembers Red Skelton, he was the true artist in implied meanings. I feel sorry for younger people today, they have no great entertainers.
