Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Mary Brian in It's Tough to Be Famous (1932)

Trivia

It's Tough to Be Famous

Edit
In this early 1930s Pre-Code film, a "double entendre" is used when Scotty and Janet discuss the clock in their honeymoon suite. As Janet gets off the bed and exits to the bathroom, she turns around, begins to take off her robe, and seductively tells Scotty not to forget to wind the clock. A careful listener can hear a message with a totally different meaning. In case you missed it the first time, the gag line is repeated at other times throughout the film.
This film's earliest documented USA telecasts took place in Sacramento Thursday 21 March 1957 on KCRA (Channel 3), and in Phoenix Tuesday 18 April 1957 on KOOL (Channel 10) followed by Portland OR 19 July 1957 on KPTV (Channel 12), by Tucson 29 July 1957 on KGUN (Channel 9), by Wichita 29 November 1957 on KAKE (Channel 10), by Los Angeles 20 January 1958 on KTLA (Channel 5), by Columbus 12 February 1958 on WTVN (Channel 6), by San Antonio 26 March 1958 on WOAI (Channel 4), by San Francisco 2 June 1958 on KTVU (Channel 2) (Oakland CA), by Honolulu 8 July 1958 on KHVH (Channel 13), and by Cincinnati 19 August 1958 on WKRC (Channel 12).
