obviously.
i have the anniversary edition dvd, there is a long interview with Schlensinger. in one part, he talks about after the academy award, they asked him to simply cut 5 seconds (or maybe it was 15 seconds) from the film anywhere, then they would get rid of the X rating. they were obviously embarassed at this film winning best picture, and having the rating. of course he basically told them to fuck off...
