SCREAM IDOLS

I'm a great fan of old black and white movies such as Casab- lanca and Singin' In The Rain (wasn't that one in colour? - Ed). I know films have come a long way since the Forties and Fifties, but the chief difference, especially with old classic remakes, is the language. Great actors Iike Humphrey Bogartand Gene Kelly never stooped to using vulgar language. Modern-day films only propagate badmouthing tactics, Iike constant use of the F word, because they think it's hip. However, I'm sure most people still find it deeply offensive.
I know expletives can be heard on the streets everyday, but that's what we go to the movies to escape from.
