Hollywood Nudity Backlash Shifts in U S Film Strategy
Hollywood considers more explicit scenes as code rules loosen. The piece traces late 20th century shifts from censorship to self regulation, highlighting Reflections in a Golden Eye with Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando, and notes critics and clerical boards weighing morality against commercial appeal. It cites earlier examples from Chaplin to Hayley Mills and debates whether nude scenes now signal art, not prurience, in a liberal audience.
