That is how I interpreted it, but not until I was old enough to get the reference, in the 80's. However, I still think he meant it that way at the time. Can any of the other old timer's way in?
I don't consider what he said was an oral sex innuendo.

If we would have said her ears were the right size, it wouldn't mean anything other than a flirtation.

I think Julia Roberts mouth is to big, has nothing to do with sex.

It's the way he says "for me that is". I have little doubt what he meant. It is also clear why it wasn't cut. So easy to defend as innocent.
The mind hungers for that on which it feeds.

That would be my luck, to have some gorgeous tomato throw me a flirtation, and me miss it until the next day.

He meant her mouth was just right
for kissing. Then he kissed her.
In 1947 in It's a Wonderful Life,
the mom asked the daughter
what the boy on the phone wanted.
The girl replied, "He wants to come
over and make mad passionate love
to me, mother"

Did a sing;e person in the audience
think that meant he wanted to screw
her brains out? No. Just like nobody
15 years later thought the mouth
comment was about a BJ. It wasn't
written that way or perceived that
way.

In the 1960 film Pillow Talk, there's
a scene where Rock Hudson pretends
to be Gay. Behind the scenes Rock
and everybody else had a riot with
it because Rock was a Gay guy playing
a straight guy playing a Gay guy.
But us in the audience didn't know
Rock was Gay, it would have been
career ending, That's how tightly
this stuff was controlled in the early
60's.

The second paragraph of your post begins: "I have to disagree there."
Disagree with what?


What are you talking about.

I have been trying to watch Logan's Run for the past three nights, but I keep falling asleep and can't get to the end. The special effects are comical now, but it seemed really state of the art back in the 70's. One thing I didn't remember was how gruesome it was when Farrah Fawcett Majors got blown up.

I guess you really can't go back. Better to not remake this one.

No way man! Logan's Run is the perfect candidate for a remake. Original effects were awful, so was dialog and acting, but the premise was great. With CGI these days, Logan's Run could be a franchise with lots of sequels.

Because it was 1963 and was meant
as an innocent remark, not a sexual
reference.

I have to disagree there. After Pussy introduced herself, JB said something like "I must be dreaming," with a goofy look on his face.

That's happened to me, but since I'm faithful to my wife I'm better off having missed it.

Hehe... So let me get this straight:
Original Effects - Awful
Dialogue - Awful
Acting - Awful
Premise - Great!

Add some CGI, and you have a multi-picture winner.

I’m no Max Bialystock, but if you add a musical number (“Springtime for Sandman”?) it can’t miss.

•••••••••••••
Seriously though, there is a great premise, but it has already been re-done a number of times since then: “Hunger Games”, “Divergent”, “Maze Runner”, and even “X-men” all have dystopian visions of the future where youth rebel against the establishment to survive. It’s not fresh anymore.
