Nudity in old PEPLUM films


If you go to IMDb's forum for CLASH OF THE TITANS (1981) one of the most popular threads there is the inevitable: There was an awful lot of nudity in this for a PG movie at the time. The two screengrabs here are the scenes in question. This makes me laugh and sorta sad at the same time. I saw this at the movies back then and no one complained about the nudity in COTT so why now? In a day and age where hardcore porn can be accessed by a simple click of a mouse, why are today's kids so uptight about exposed flesh in old mainstream movies? It's the same thing I mentioned recently here: butt out.

I wholeheartedly agree: I'm almost 69 now and I remember a time when people were not shocked by such glimpses in 'whole family' movies. Why the change? A collateral damage of generalized 'political correctness'?

Political correctness? More like hypocrisy.
