I ordered Sheena thinking it would be a good children’s movie.
Decided to watch it first and boy was I surprised. It had frontal, backal and sidal nudity. I understand that it wasn’t in a sexual situation but PG?

When ROMEO AND JULIET was released in 1968 it had an R rating as this was just after the murder of Robert Kennedy and the movies were trying to deflect blame away from them.
Rated R due to a 1/2 second of Juliet’s nipple and breast.
Today the movie is rated PG.

I also saw the Jim Brown movie RIOT, Rated R about the same time. I saw it on cable TV not long ago and it was re-rated PG-13.
The movie I mentioned in my post was HEAVEN WITH A GUN rated M.(Remember that rating?) There was NO nudity in it.
I saw it on STARZ not long ago and it had nude scenes added that would not have even been allowed back in 1969. If it had, it would have been rated a heavy R. ( and I might have sat through it several times! ;-D)
I believe that movie came out just before the advent of the “PG-13” rating. Usually excessive sex, violence, and/or profanity (particularly F-bombs) were required to get an R rating prior to that time. For example, one of my favorite movies, “Emperor Of North” (1973), has every cuss word except the F-word and some bloody moments as well and was rated PG. All of the James Bond movies were also rated PG until “Licence To Kill” in 1989. Since then, they have all been PG-13.
