Oyster chat is turning out to be far more fruitful than I expected.

The 'snails and oysters' scene in Spartacus, in which Lawrence Olivier's character attempts to seduce Tony Curtis' character in a Roman bathhouse,
was removed from the film at the demand of the New York Legion of Decency after only two test screenings.

It was re-assembled from long-lost footage in the studio vaults, and re-included in the film in 1991. The dialogue needed to be re-dubbed. Tony Curtis re-recorded his own, and - at the suggestion of Olivier's widow - Anthony Hopkins was brought in to voice Crassus, doing his best Olivier impression.
