The longest kiss in the history of Hollywood

"A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words becom
e superfluous.” - Ingrid Bergman


In 1946, Alfred Hitchcock got around the censors by having Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman take a series of little kisses, for a long period of time in "Notorious". Hitch broke the Hollywood censor record then, for the longest kiss scene in Hollywood history. The censors were outraged, but he did not break their rules, and so this scandalous scene is remembered as one of the first sexy scenes of the silver screen.

...I love these pictures because it reminds me of the ultimate thrill of that first kiss with someone. The passion and excitement of that first time your lips lock is never again realized, and is to be cherished. It's like the first moments of discovering and it's intoxicating.


I love kissing."
