Che? (1972)

In 2017 Renate Langer accused Roman Polanski of raping her in 1972, when she was 15, just before and during the filming of this movie. Langer said she met Polanski when she worked for a modeling agency, and he was interested in casting her in a movie. When she visited him in the Swiss village Gstaad, she said he had sex with her in his home, despite her protests. About a month later, Langer told the Times, he called to apologize and offered her a small role in his 1972 movie 'Che?' (where she has a nude scene). While on set of 'Che?', Langer said Polanski raped her a second time, despite her efforts to defend herself with a bottle of wine and a bottle of perfume.

Mio caro assassino (1972)

Leoni and Valerii reshaped the script, with particular attention given to the psychological examination
of the characters, such as little Stefania's mother, who sinks into madness after the loss of her girl, or the pedophile uncle, completely rewritten in the process. “It was a character that you could not tell what he was in the film for, so we told ourselves, 'Either we take it
out of the film or we develop it'. And we had the idea of the naked little girl that appears at the door of his studio during the commissioner's visit...”
(from book "Tonino Valerii: The Films")

The Blood on Satan's Claw (1971)

Actor Antony Ainley, who plays a preacher seduced by Linda Hayden's character, once said in an interview "When it came to doing the nude scene where Angel (Hayden) comes into the rectory at night and disrobes this was done at least three times and Linda was spot on with every take...she was a total professional with a refined sense of the erotic unusual for her age...I believe she was only 17 at the time."

Un posto ideale per uccidere (1971)

For the main role, Umberto Lenzi wanted Anna Moffo, a very attractive opera singer who in those years had embarked on the road to cinema. Moffo accepted, at first, but later backed out, just a few days before the start of filming. So Irene Papas was chosen, a very good actress who, however, immediately vetoed any nudity. "I accepted Irene Papas - explained Lenzi - hoping that she would let me convince her to film at least some of the more daring scenes, leaving the more racy ones to a body double, but I found myself up against a wall". If he can't push with the mature woman, he will push with the young girl - thinks the director - especially since a radiant and already very busty Ornella Muti was chosen for the part. But life wasn't easy with her either: "Muti was stupendous, but when the film was made, she was seventeen and a half years old and it was impossible to make her undress. I tried, but once, after showing half a breast, she burst into tears and I had to give up. Moreover, she had a very jealous boyfriend and a mother who was always watching over her". So it was Antonia Santilli, an aspiring actress who had ended up on the set by chance as the girlfriend of the director of photography Alfio Contini, who lent her body for all the spicy scenes of the film, acting as stand-in for both Ornella Muti and Irene Papas.

Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song (1971)

In a 2010 interview, asked if his son Mario was excited or weirded out about the opening sex scene, Melvin Van Peebles said, "He didn't want the kids at school to see him doing that. You know kids, I told him not to worry about it, shut the fuck up and do what I say. Now, every time he gets a broad he says, 'Hey honey, come and watch me in this movie.'[...] What I found very interesting, is that people couldn't believe I used my own son. Everybody's somebody's kid. If it was so wrong, why would I do it with somebody else's kid?"

Walkabout (1971)

"Nic wanted the scene in which I swam naked to be straightforward. He wanted me to be uninhibited – which I wasn’t. I was a very inhibited young woman. I didn’t feel uncomfortable about the intention of the scene, but that doesn’t make you feel any better. There was no one around, apart from Nic in the distance with his camera. No lights, nothing. Once he’d got the shot, I got out of the water and dressed as quickly as possible. I don’t think people were as obsessed with nudity back then as they are today.

"I had to jump in the water naked too, which absolutely terrified me. I kept putting my hands in front of my crotch to protect my dignity. My dad yelled down from the clifftop: “Take your bloody hands away!” So I took them away and jumped straight into the cold water."

Walkabout (1971)

Walkabout was filmed in remote locations across the Australian outback in the summer of 1969.
Although Girl is 14-years-old in the movie. Jenny Agutter was 16-years-old when the film was in production.
Jenny Agutter was embarrassed when doing the scene of her swimming naked in the lake, so as many as possible of the crew were sent away. When shooting was done they returned, stripped naked, and went for a swim.

Tatort (TV series 1970-????) (1970)

In February 2024, Nastassja Kinski demanded an apology for her nude scenes as a 15-year-old in the successful 'Tatort' crime film 'Reifezeugnis'. "I want to confront the people who were responsible for it," she told the television station RTL about the 1977 thriller. "And I want an apology - publicly." In addition, 'Der Spiegel' reported that the actress wanted to prevent the nude scenes from being broadcast further and had called in lawyers.
Kinski was only 15 during filming and did not feel comfortable in such scenes, "although I liked the director, the whole team". She said that she was unaccompanied by her parents on set. "My mother wasn't invited, that was intentional on the part of the production - so I can only understand." She did see it as her job as an actress. "But then I went to the hotel, and then I cried."

Cuore di mamma (1969)

"If Mother’s Heart seemed like a slap in the face to Italian moviegoers at the time, it seems even more confrontational today, especially the scenes with Lorenza’s children. Child nudity is an instant hot button topic and Samperi presents two scenes where Massimo and Anna are romping in the buff with their privates exposed, first at their private beach and later in the bathroom. Never mind that the two kids are played by Gravina’s own children, it is still disturbing to see the two pre-teens climb into the bathtub with Lorenza and fondle her affectionately. The incestuous overtones are impossible to ignore as Massimo grabs his mother’s leg and says, “How pretty you are. You must be alone with me.” I can imagine the outrage these scenes could arouse today and yet the nudity is presented in a very matter-of-fact manner and is never salacious or exploitive."
Note that the article refers to the children as Carla Gravina's real-life children, which they are not.
