Censorship
When A Single Man was released, many states and cities in the United States had censor boards that could require cuts or other eliminations before the film could be shown. The Kansas censor board ordered a cut of an intertitle with the caption, "You great big cave man. I bet you're a devil when you're aroused."[4]
