Interesting idea.
But if this rumor/legend was true, why would the EAST OF EDEN title
have been left uncovered on the posters, with only the part which
speaks of Dean in the present tense, be printed over?
The title is still right there to remind anyone who saw it, about EDEN.
It seems that they covered over the part of the sentence that
presents Dean in the present, which, of course, was no longer the
case, by this point in time.

However, I have heard from several sources this legend. It goes like
this: EAST OF EDEN was a really racy picture
in it's day, and was rejected by a lot of southern theaters.
The overprinting or obscuring was an attempt to take EAST OF EDEN out
of the minds of the public.
