Can we have a serious talk about kissing Have you ever noticed in old movies when Bogart or Clark Gable kissed a girl, her head would go back and his head would push forward It wasn’t just a kiss, it was a symbolic act of invasion, a D-Day landing by the forces of masculinity. Indeed, an act of penetration by him, and submission from her.
That’s how the movie kiss was in the ’30s, even after the Hays Code tried to stamp out all lust and licentiousness in American cinema, including within marriage. (You may find this strange, kids, but married couples had to have separate single beds in movies under the Hays Code).
