The Right Stuff (1983)
The Right Stuff (1983) is a classic film about the early days of the American space program. It tells the story of the first astronauts and their struggles to become the first people to go into space. The film also explores the personal lives of the astronauts and their families, and the relationships between them.
One of the most memorable scenes in The Right Stuff is the romantic moment between astronaut John Glenn (Ed Harris) and his wife Annie (Mary Jo Deschanel). The couple share a passionate kiss in the middle of a crowded room, and it is a powerful moment that shows the strength of their love and commitment to each other.
The Right Stuff also explores the sexual tension between the astronauts and their wives. The film shows how the wives of the astronauts are often left behind while their husbands go off on dangerous missions. This creates a sense of longing and desire between the couples, and the film does a great job of conveying this emotion.
The Right Stuff also features a scene in which astronaut Alan Shepard (Scott Glenn) and his wife Louise (Veronica Cartwright) share a passionate kiss. This scene is particularly powerful because it shows the strength of their love and commitment to each other, even in the face of danger.

During a long sequence involving medical evaluations of potential astronauts, some of the candidates are seen in hospital gowns with their buttocks partially exposed to comic effect.
A scene involves two main characters being required to produced semen samples for a medical evaluation. Masturbation is understandably suggested by a nurse and, while not explicitly shown, we see their feet in adjacent restroom stalls as they ostensibly masturbate.
The renowned fan dancer Sally Rand, who famously performed at the 1933 World's Fair in Chicago, is depicted appearing over 30 years later at a Texas celebration for the Mercury astronauts. In her performance, generally seen from some distance in low lighting, she covers herself only with large fans of ostrich feathers; this is given extensive screen time, with brief glimpses of what appears to be rear and frontal nudity. However, if watched closely, the woman is not completely naked, but has on pasties and nude colored underwear.
The film contains occasional sexual innuendos and jokes, including references to adulterous affairs. Two young women are briefly depicted carrying out a plan to have sex with all seven Mercury astronauts, with partial success.
