Re: [HoE] Old Movie Question

[Mike j Scofield <reinstag@juno.com>]

I figure the movie would have been pretty much unchanged. It was meant to
be a love story with the war as a backdrop. Most love stories didn't
include zombie soldiers rising from the grave and attacking the lead
characters. Now I think it would have been an interesting turn to the
movie but I don't think it would have gone that way. The censor board had
a problem with Ret Butler saying the word "damn" much less having a hoard
of living dead eating people's brains.

If it had been a different movie though I think Ret would have been a
huckster.
