Bit of history of the f-bomb. Earliest written use in English goes back to the 1500s and some uncomplementary comments on the relationships between the Friars of Ely and the town's housewives. It seems to have made it to the US by the time of the Revolution, and its modern usage was well established by the turn of the 20th Century, at least among the working classes. It moved into the more general society after WWII via returning GIs. So whether your movie had an accurate usage depends on both time and what social class the character was.

Thank you Marly, for the heads up on the movie. And I am with everyone else that posted so far, that box is lovely and you should keep it for yourself. I need to pick up chocolate the next time I am out shopping. Hope I can get some today! mmmhhh
I love all your boxes so much and this one is fabulous too! Great colors and design! I hope you keep some of these beauties for yourself. They can hold Dove Chocolate as a reward for your hard work.
