Crown e Vicki

Do you play?” Crown asks.
Try me”, she answers.
After those two sentences, the script had a three-word description about what should follow: “chess with sex.” No dialogue, just a man and a woman, a chessboard, chess pieces, and a charge of sexual tension.
And so on for six minutes of screen time.
Check”, Vicki says. The silence is broken.
Crown stands up, studies the board, confirms he has lost. He roughly pulls Vicki to her feet.
Let’s play something else”, he says.
They kiss. Not a brief, tender kiss. I was going for the all-time longest kiss in screen history. Not a hint of bare skin, but a kiss far sexier than a shot of two nudes. It lasted for 80 seconds of screen time. If you can believe it, most newspapers would not reproduce our open-mouth kiss ad for the film.
