The current issue of CINEMA RETRO has a great piece on this film.It says something interesting.Claudia Cardinale appears topless in the trailer but in the film her breasts were optically covered!Can anyone tell me where to find that trailer? bruce marshall
The trailer was shown on TV or in theaters or both? Did they allow tits on European TV back then? They still don't allow it today, in USA.
And btw I have never seen nudity in any trailer, TV or theater.
Mr. SKin says she appears nude int the "uncut Euro version" which is probably a mistake I have seen French films, mainstream ones from the 50's with female nudity.
CC was smart enough never to really expose herself. She believed in fantasy .BUT in the trailer there is a very quick flash, when she dresses herself up again. Totally harmless. ....it is on youtube though,.
America is a Puritan country
The Pawnbroker was the first film in USA to be released with the Production Code seal of approval and show tits. Soon thereafter, the Code was gone.By the way, my comments earlier about what can and can't be shown on Americab TV, were about netwotk TV, not cable TV. Of course, cable TV can show nudity - like TCM shows movies with nudity. But network TV does not show tits.
But generally, in 2016, no nudity at all on network TV in USA. IMO that is a good thing. Parents should be able to let their kids network TV without worrying that they might see nudity.
In BLOW UP, back in the mid-60's, I recall reading that a huge deal was made over the possibility that public hair was shown. It was (or wasn't) just for a split second. Was it or wasn't it?? Big debate and controversy.
Hmm, what is public hair?
