Back in the 50s and 60s, a glimpse of a boob, midriff, a thigh or even a mild “come hither” look was titillating.
These days? Honestly, who cares if an actress flashes her assets on screen? Why do we pretend this is even an issue?
Just Google “boob” to see where we are on the Puritan scale in 2019. Hint - the Three Stooges won’t appear in your search results.
***Back in the 50s and 60s,***
Never saw “too much” shot back in those days until the murder of Bobby Kennedy and the anti-violence hysteria that followed causing TV shows for adults, but still safe for kids, to be dumbed down to strictly kiddie shows.
The Movie industry got a reprieve by saying they would “police themselves” with a joke of a ratings system. G, M, R, X.
With the Hays Code now dead they reshot scenes adding more blood, guts and sex to get the then coveted “R” rating.
I still remember seeing “G” rated movies in 1969 that today would be rated “R” with the added nudity.
Even ROMEO AND JULIET 1969, was rated “R” due to a 1/2 second shot of a nipple. Now it is rated PG-13. Same for Jim Brown’s RIOT rated “R”, now PG-13.
Now there is no end as excessive blood and guts, extreme nudity, now fills the TV airwaves and cable.
