A student of mine seeing "Gone With the Wind" in her US History Class told me that her history teacher announced to the class "Clark Gable was the first man to take off his shirt in a movie." And went on to further rewrite film history by saying that this had happened only a few years before GWTW. Of course, he was referring to "It Happened One Night"(1934). I think you need to send that student this link: http://es.geocities.com/galibetis_cine/Autocensuraenelcinemudo_archiv... Or, you could refer the student to the Library of Congress where he can watch Edison's 1894 film of "Sandow". The student might like to begin his research at this small page I created: http://www.pictureshowman.com/photos3.cfm The Picture Show Man http://www.pictureshowman.com Dedicated to exploring the history of motion pictures . . .
