Rich, a long time ago on the TCM board, there once was a poster named LoliteBlue . Might you remember her?

Yes, the addition of the wife and Leiningen's possible impotence and feelings of inadequacy were added for the movie. We read the story in grade school, which we wouldn't have done, had it included all that steamy sex (or steamy lack of sex). I read it in school as well. Of course, if the story had...
