   Mr Hobbs Takes a Vacation?  I wasn't even in school yet when     
   that came out in theatres.   
      
   I enjoyed the Looney Tunes.  The Roadrunner always perplexed me     
   and I (as a pre-schooler and early grader) could never     
   understand the joke in the Latin subtitles at the beginning of     
   each episode when they would stop the scene and post something     
   in fake Latin.  Only decades later as an adult after getting a     
   VHS tape of Looney Tunes hit shows, did I finally "GET IT".   
      
   In Hitchcock's North By Northwest (the one with a confrontation     
   that ends on Mt Rushmore), Hitchcock wanted to push the limits     
   on censorship and have some kind of love scene at the end of the     
   film that implied more than the usual fair. The censors said no     
   to his material. So, Hitchcock placed the "lovers" on a train,     
   and after a few quips of innuendo, the final scene is the train     
   entering the tunnel.  Apparenty, the censors couldn't say no to     
   that!    And by some stretch of the imagination, the message     
   may have been even clearer.
