It does seem messed up in the context of present day standards of morality. But it wasn't always such. I know the line needs to be drawn somewhere. But I also know that maybe the line is different for non-salacious forms of nudity. Is it possible for nudity of an under eighteen actor or actress to be non-exploitive? Is the 18 year old benchmark arbitrary? I'm not sure. I'm just asking.

Yeah.. because that makes her not a child that was exploited by filmmakers… Edit to add: He was exploited as well as a child.

I’ve hated it for decades! Now, not so much.

I watched it in school too! English Shakespeare classes, mid-eighties. No one was damaged.

We watched this movie in 6th grade. The teacher told us to cover our eyes during the part with nudity. Pretty sure everyone peaked.

An R-rating for a 1-second boob shot.

I love that long-n-straight middle part style that was so popular around this time!

Sure, but also it seems pretty messed up to watch a movie that shows off a 16 year old girl’s boobs, doesn’t it?

I mean, if you have a nude picture of a 16 year old girl on your phone, that’s a crime. But we can go on watching this movie because it was made in the 60s and it’s Shakespeare? Doesn’t make sense.
