Which was the Oscar winning film that virtually killed off a section of the U.S. undergarment industry?

[mike b]

It Happened One Night, when Clark Gable took off his shirt and was seen not to be wearing a vest. I think.

That's the one, Mike. Perhaps we'd better add for the benefit of American AnswerBankers that by 'vest' we Brits mean an undershirt. When they use the word, it means 'waistcoat'.

Thanks a lot for these answers.

mike b, the only reason Isaid left wing of the goose is simly cos that's what the question said!

[mike b]

I know, and that's what the Wikipedia reference said as well, but it's still got me intrigued... Do you think they use the feathers from the other wing for left-handed shuttlecocks? Or maybe the feathers from the right wing are stronger and are still reserved as strategic material for the manufacture of arrow flights. Anyway, if there was much difference between the two wings, wouldn't the bird end up flying in circles? (That's enough of that! - ed)
