SL on NBC

     The NBC presentation of SL was classy.  Uncut.  A statement at the 
     beginning of the presentation to the effect that the image had been 
     modified to fit the dimensions of the TV screen.
     
     All of the original dialogue was retained, including words that 
     normally raise a red flag with the FCC (not the mention the infamous 
     NBC censors).  Included all of the nudity (erotic and otherwise) from 
     the original.
     
     Even the Ford advertising at the beginning and end of the film was 
     surprising.  Instead of huckstering cars, Ford was advertising Ford.
