In 1947, the risque farce Mooning the Misbegotten, the latest for laugh-riot Gene O'Neill, opens on Broadway. The uproarious comedy nearly brought the censor's office down on it before O'Neill agreed to cut down on a little of the title action. Even sans the pants-dropping, it was lambasted by moralists as vulgar, which only made it more popular.
