 In British prints, Leslie Howard (I) (qv) utters the word "damn".  In American prints he says either "hang" or "confounded". This was a  year before David O. Selznick (qv) famously tussled with the Hays  Office over permission for Clark Gable (qv) to say "Frankly, my  dear, I dont give a damn" at the end of  _Gone With the Wind (1939)_ (qv).
