Standards change over the years,
at the public level and at the bureaucratic level.
"Saturday Night and Sunday Morning",
starring a young Albert Finney,
was rated X by the British Board Of Film Censors
[which itself changed its name
to the British Board of Film Classification
once censorship became a dirty word].
Watch the movie and you'll wonder why on earth
it was ever rated Adults-Only.
