Behind the scenes (265)

Baby Love (1969)

Linda Hayden:
"I started off with Baby Love and it was very much a sex-type movie, that was the fashion. And my screen test I did topless, because that was the scene with the elderly man who played the part, Keith Barron. When she came into the study. So it was all quite near the knuckle. And there was a big to-do about that and my parents were asked did they mind. When I did the screen test I was there with a girlfriend of mine from school, a very beautiful blonde girl, a mate of mine, a very strong personality. And she was convinced she was going to get it. But before the end of the day I was being pictured and photographed and I think and I think she sussed something was going on. That ruined a good friendship. They made up their minds pretty quickly. But I think they’d done quite a lot of auditioning."

Freiheit für die Liebe (1969)

Title: Freedom to Love: A Film by Drs. Phyllis & Eberhard Kronhausen
Publisher: New York Grove Press 1970
Authors: Drs. Phyllis & Eberhard Kronhausen
pp. 64-75

26. The Young Girls

Briggitte and Christine, two young girls aged about twelve and nine, play with a large beach ball near Pat and Marie’s home.



Christine: Catch!

Briggitte: I’m gonna throw it real high. Whoops! Ah…

Christine: It’s over the hedge!

Briggitte: Let’s go get it.



Trying to retrieve the ball, the two young girls carefully open the fence door to Pat and Marie’s backyard and silently creep towards the house. The younger Briggitte is obviously the more aggressive one. As she picks up the ball, she sees something which arouses her interest. Moving closer to Pat and Marie’s bedroom window, she motions Christine to follow.



Briggitte (in a whisper): Come here!

Christine (whispering): What is it?



Briggitte and Christine witness Pat and Marie making love. However, they soon move away from the window, either out of fear and embarrassment, or simply because the scene has begun to bore them.



At this point, Drs. Kronhausen embark on a discussion of lesbianism and homosexuality as the girls watch Pat and Marie making love.
27. Briggitte and Christine Experiment

A brightly colored child’s room. Christine and Briggitte play with some of the stuffed dolls and other toys in eth room.



Christine: I’ve often seen my parents when they were completely nude.

Briggitte: Completely nude?

Christine: Why…yes!

Briggitte: Well, my parents say you’re not supposed to.

Christine: My parents say we don’t have to be ashamed.

Briggitte: Would you dare take off your clothes now?

Christine: Yes…why not? I don’t care. (Both girls take their clothes off.)



Dr. Eberhard Kronhausen: (off) Adults commonly misinterpret the harmless sex play and sex curiosity of children…Children are interested only in exploring their own bodies and finding out what it is like to be grown up sexually as well as otherwise. It is therefore advisable that children receive early sex education, not only about the reproductive function of sex, but also about its pleasurable or erotic aspects. Only in this way can the child accept his own sex feelings and sex experimentation without guilt and shame, and avoid undue fixations or inhibitions. The alleged danger of children being seduced by homosexuals is no greater than in the heterosexual case…since only the same small percentage of homosexual adults take an interest in contacts with children…as is true for the population in general.


The girls are now completely nude



Christine: Come!

Briggitte: Are you ticklish?

Christine: No, ha, ha, ha.

Briggitte: (touching Christine) Does that feel nice?

Christine: Mm…



Dr. Phyllis Kronhausen: (off) With regard to the effects of what the child may have observed of adult sex behavior or even what it may have experienced; it is more the attitude of the adults in the child’s environment that counts rather than the events themselves. If the adults take a moralistic and punitive position, or if they react with fear and panic, the child will naturally react with guilt, shame and anxiety of her own. The child may, in the extreme case, even be seriously traumatized. If the adults take a calm, noncensorial, matter-of-fact attitude about the child’s early sex experiences they remain, as a rule, of little consequence. Children, if left to their own devices, soon enough return to their own world of toys and innocent games which hold much more lasting fascination for them.
28. Briggitte and Her Parents (1)
The girl, obviously late for dinner, comes to the table; at which her mother and staid-looking father are already seated. The dining room is extremely traditional.



Briggitte’s Mother: Well, it’s about time, Brigitte…it’s a shame, at your age, to keep us waiting. Washed your hands? Let me see. (She inspects the girl’s hands)

Brigitte’s Father: All right. Sit down.
29. Christine and Her Parents (1)

The setting here is much less formal, much more modern, than the dining room of Brigitte’s parents. An abstract painting hangs on the wall.



Christine’s Mother: And what have you and Brigitte been doing today?

Christine: We’ve been playing Pat and Marie.

Christine’s Mother: What have you been playing?

Christine: We’ve been watching them.

Christine’s Father: What do you mean by that?

Christine: We were looking through their window…they were playing with each other.
30. Brigitte and Her Parents (2)

Brigitte: Without any clothes on.

Brigitte’s Father: Where did you see two naked women?

Brigitte: Oh, they live next door to Christine.

Brigitte’s Mother: I don’t understand a word she’s saying.
31. Christine and Her Parents (2)

Christine’s Father: And what were they doing?

Christine: Pat and Marie were kissing.

Christine’s Mother: Well, you know Pat and Marie love each other very much.
32. Brigitte and Her Parents (3)

Brigitte’s Father: You know that’s wrong. Looking through other people’s windows is as bad as stealing.

Brigitte: Oh, but I didn’t do it like that. We were playing outside with our ball. I threw it high and it went over the fence.

Brigitte’s Father: And then what happened?

Brigitte: That’s all.

Brigitte’s Mother: Don’t lie to me now, you must have been doing something!

Brigitte’s Father: Tell us!

Brigitte: Christine was kissing me…

Brigitte’s Father: And you let her do that? You are as bad a girl as she. You should be ashamed of yourself. Go to your room! (He slaps her face. Brigitte leaves the table.)

Brigitte’s Mother: This is incredible. Can you imagine doing things like that in front of children?

Brigitte’s Father: It doesn’t surprise me at all. I’ve been thinking before that Christine is a bad influence.
33. Christine and Her Parents (3)

Christine: Can they have babies together?

Christine’s Mother: But you know it takes a man and a woman to make a baby.

Christine: Oh…naturally
34. Brigitte’s Parents Alone

Brigitte’s Mother: But those two girls are corrupting the children. We’ve got to do something…
Brigitte’s Father: I’ll call Christine’s parents. In my opinion, perverts ought to be locked up. I’ll make a complaint to the authorities. It’s disgusting!

Robby (Video) (1968)

On the first day of filming his nude scenes, Warren Raum suffered severe sunburn on his buttocks, so much so that shooting had to be postponed while he recovered.

Warren Raum and Ryp Siani were both director Ralph Bluemke's first choices for the two main roles. Luckily, both boys and their parents consented to the extensive nudity in the script.

Prior to filming, none of the cast and crew were nudists. However, since most of their scenes were filmed in the nude, Warren Raum and Ryp Siani soon became accustomed to not wearing clothes unless it was required for a particular scene, and often wandered amongst the crew stark naked even when not filming. Much of the crew also joined in skinny dipping with the boys during lunch breaks.

The Strange Affair (1968)

In a 1981 interview, Susan George recalled her love scene with Michael York. "He was nervous, but divine. So gentle, covering me up, making feel like his girlfriend for the day. In that picture I remember being less inhibited than I am now. I guess that was because I knew so very little about love scenes. And the girl I was playing was totally free. She dropped her clothes on command. It was all quite natural."

Romeo and Juliet (1968)

The suit alleges that Zeffirelli — who died in 2019 — assured both actors that there would be no nudity in the film, and that they would wear flesh-colored undergarments in the bedroom scene. But in the final days of filming, the director allegedly implored them to perform in the nude with body makeup, “or the Picture would fail.”


Olivia Hussey, talking about her nude scene:
Well at the time, I don't think anybody this young in English cinema had ever done anything like that. But it was done so tastefully that it really, you know, I mean—Franco shot it towards the very end of the film, so obviously we'd been working together for months on end. We all knew each other. And when the bedroom scene actually came around, you know, he sent Mauro, the makeup gentleman, to come up to my dressing room—and he said, "Franco wants you made up from head to toe. And I said, "But why? I'm going to have a long nightgown on." And he said, "Wwelll, that's what Franco—", and I said, "Well, okay." But I went down and I said, "Franco, I've got to at least have the underwear on," and then he'd say, "You know, it's their first night of love, and they're young: nothing will be inappropriate. It will be done in the best of taste." And once he'd explained how beautiful and how touching—the beauty of it, it was that they were so inexperienced and so young, right?—that it made sense. So then, it wasn't that difficult. And then the grips at that time, all the men in the crew, you know, got to know us all, and we were the youngest people on the set. So when we did the bedroom scene, a lot of the men, when they didn't have to, you know, be lighting something, they'd stand there with their backs to us. So they didn't have to watch what was going on in the shooting, which I thought was very respectful and nice. At the time, you get caught up in the role. I don't know what the big deal was all about anyway.

Romeo and Juliet (1968)

Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting filed a lawsuit in Santa Monica Superior Court on Friday, accusing Paramount of sexually exploiting them and distributing nude images of adolescent children.

Hussey was 15 at the time and Whiting was 16. According to the complaint, Zeffirelli showed them where the camera would be positioned, and assured them that no nudity would be photographed or released in the film. The suit alleges that he was being dishonest and that Whiting and Hussey were in fact filmed nude without their knowledge.

“What they were told and what went on were two different things,” said Tony Marinozzi, who is a business manager for both actors. “They trusted Franco. At 16, as actors, they took his lead that he would not violate that trust they had. Franco was their friend, and frankly, at 16, what do they do? There are no options. There was no #MeToo.”

According to the complaint, Hussey and Whiting have suffered mental anguish and emotional distress in the 55 years since the film’s release, and have also lost out on job opportunities. Despite their breakout performances, Hussey and Whiting had only very limited acting careers after “Romeo and Juliet.”

They are seeking damages “believed to be in excess of $500 million.”

Die Heiden von Kummerow und ihre lustigen Streiche (1967)

Almost 20 children from Rügen were invited to the Babelsberg film studios at the time. The four Rüganers Jörg Resler, Karin Kaltenbach (born Heidemann), Wolfgang Hinz and Gerald Schraml were finally selected. Most of the scenes for the film, which actually takes place in the supposed West Pomeranian village of Kummerow, were shot in Vilmnitz, Resler recalls an exciting time. "After all, we received 40 marks a day for 40 days of shooting, the first earnings for the children. And there was even a surcharge for a nude scene in the film," Resler recalls, smiling.

Nattlek (1966)

The full-frontal nudity of 14 year old actor Jorgen Lindström in this film was controversial. Lindström later remarked in an interview: "I don't think it was such a big deal. I do remember reactions in the papers, people worrying about that poor kid, who would be ruined for life. Well, I was 14 at the time, and not quite an innocent child any more. I can't remember being embarrassed or anything. In fact I remember walking about nude on the set between takes. In a way, I guess I was still a child and innocent about it all, in another way I also knew a bit about 'the facts of life.'"

Amintiri din copilarie (1965)

In a 2019 interview, Ion Bocancea recalled the tests to get his role in the movie and in particular the one for the nude bath scene."There were all kinds of tests: photo, filming rehearsals, but the most difficult was the one in which we had to undress for the scene in 'Taking a bath'. This test was held at the Village Museum and it was full of people there, people were looking at us like a circus. We had to strip down to our bare skin and make a route with thorns, fences, and obstacles. We were told that after we undressed, we would find the clothes at the end of the trail. No one wanted to undress, but I told myself that no one would know me anyway. I came out first, but there were other tests where I was first. I had horse riding and swimming tests, all kinds of sports tests", said Bocancea.
