TV and film have always been a little itchy about language, even when the language is not very rough. On stage, for West Side Story, Anita sings:

"They walk in hot and tired, so what!
Don't matter if they're tired, as long as they're hot."

But in the film:

"They walk in hot and tired, poor dears!
Don't matter if they're tired, as long as they're here."

Wow! On Broadway someone sang "hot" meaning sexually excited. How daring!
