Episode 6: Female Nudity in Cinema

 

When The Supreme Court ruled in 1957 that nudity was not in itself considered obscene, it set the stage for exposed boobs, butts and bush to run wild on the silver screen. In the concluding part of our examination of nudity in movies we'll discuss the glory of the naked female body celebrated (and exploited) throughout the last century of film in A History of Female Nudity in Cinema.
