Vaguely reminiscent of a scene in Once Upon a Time in the West; could that be it possibly?
Sometime during the 1971 to 1973, a scene on color TV showed inside a log cabin, a table, and a woman facing the camera. Then a cowboy approaching that woman from behind her back, wrapped his arm around her torso and then cupped her breasts followed by ripping her off her bodice only to deftly cover her breast before any exposure can occur.
I was shocked by this rather uncensored scene over TV airwave. I am guessing that this happened before FCC cracked down just not on 7 dirty words but TV rating as well.
My attempt to find the movie from various database was fruitless. Shocking scene, still remembered. I wonder if this is the original "bodice-ripping" that many romance writers draw their inspiration from.
