Did you know?!Facts and trivia about I'll Never Forget What's'isname (1967)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- In the United States, the film was denied an MPAA seal of approval over a scene between Oliver Reed and Carol White that supposedly implied cunnilingus. Director Michael Winner, in his audio commentary, said he considered it masturbation, while the Catholic League described it as 'fellatio'.
- Universal distributed the film through Regional Film Distributors, a subsidiary that was not an MPAA member, and along with a similar scene in Charlie Bubbles (1967), the film helped bring about the end of the Production Code in the U.S. and its replacement with a ratings system.
- The film has been incorrectly named as the first mainstream film to use 'fuck' in dialogue. The BBFC only certified it in June 1967 after demanding the word fucking be removed or obscured by the sound of a car horn, three months after Ulysses (1967), which suffered heavier cuts.
