re: “Romeo & Juliet” Stars Sue Over 1968 Film’s Teen Nude Scene

I remember watching this scene in my high school English class as a freshman. I don’t think Ms Jones had properly previewed the film.

When we watched it in the 9th grade in 1995 or 96, my English teacher knew the scene was coming and fast forwarded through it. I think he recorded it on HBO or Showtime. Fortunately, the teacher had a newer VCR that had a smooth scan fast forward. We still saw the nudity in Honors English even when he started playback it was frozen on the scene because he didn’t go far enough on the tape.

No one said anything back then, now if it happened you would have the school board, sheriff’s office, attorney general’s office, and the FBI investigating.
