That's funny. I never heard that, before. It might be true. I always assumed it was done for Oscar song consideration. The same reason "My White Knight" was replaced by "Being in Love", in THE MUSIC MAN. You have to have an original song.Joe Lugoff said:About Hollywood fiddling around with GUYS AND DOLLS:
I read somewhere that the reason "Bushel and a Peck" was removed from the film version was because Samuel Goldwyn didn't understand what those words meant. He assumed they were "dirty," slang for women's and men's thingamajigs, respectively.
I'm well aware that just because you read something in a book that doesn't mean it's true, but with Samuel Goldwyn, it very well might be.
