"Interracial" Kiss

[edit]

Another pervasive/invasive Star Trek plug here. "Movin' with Nancy" does feature Nancy Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr, kissing each other on the cheek at the close of their scene together. But it is not an on-the-lips kiss. The other "dubious" kisses listed are white men with women of asian or mixed asian heritage, which raises the whole question of what constitutes "interracial" in this context. I believe whole topic is out of scope for this article and suggest the whole question be summarized as follows:

The program included a for-the-era uncommon on-screen "interracial"—meaning white and black—kiss wherein Sinatra and Davis give each other a simultaneous kiss on the cheek. It took place at the end of a song-and-dance number by Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr., with him kissing her affectionately on the cheek. Sinatra states in the commentary track on the DVD release that the seemingly spontaneous kiss was carefully planned, and deliberately done at the end of filming, when Davis had to leave for another job and could not shoot a retake.
