Kate Bowles wonders:
"I think this question has come up before, but can anyone remind me of early
precedents of the tactical inclusion of censorable scenes in the
expectation that cutting them will protect the rest of the movie? (_Casino_
is apparently one recent example)."
 
I believe that Preston Sturges used to do this kind of thing.  It has often
been done in some TV series as well.  I don't have authoritative sources,
but shows ranging from THE SMOTHERS BROTHERS COMEDY HOUR to MASH come to
mind.
