"N by NW" Ending

[jackfengshui]

Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest has a classic PG-rated but sexually-suggestive ending with Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint kissing in the sleeping berth of a train, cutting to an outside shot of the train "penetrating" a tunnel.

In reality, Hitchcock's original ending was a lot more vulgar, but was vetoed by Grant. That version has been recovered and can be seen here.

[The date of the report is relevant.]

That is very funny.
