Doris and more child porn

I can't get over the fact that this is the second DD movie I have seen where children are shown nearly-nude. At least here in "Thrill" Kym Karath and Brian Nash are wearing underpants - although they're wet and appear "see-thru."

In Doris' last film she ever made - "With Six You Get Eggroll" - there is a scene with the child actors who play her young sons aged about 7 & 9. Those poor boys are bare-ass naked for the sake of some joke about them being covered in paint and needing to take a bath.

I don't know what kind of parent is okay with their little one being paraded around in front of an all-male production crew wearing next-to-nothing, but if I had been one of those child actors I would have been horrified and upset.

They didn't used t worry about stuff like that. Naked children were viewed as innocent and precious not as sex objects. Naked babies on a bear skin rug were popular.
These days thanks to perverts it is viewed as porn.....sad really.

Being a creep is one thing but the very fact that you would even think something like that really makes me wonder where your head is.

OP, you have a dirty mind.

Not a "dirty" mind - just an "experienced mind" - if you read the newspaper headlines.

Yes: PORN.

What director decides to film nude children? This was not a "happenstance" - it was carefully planned out. Too much money involved. "Make sure Kym is in her underpants and nothing more" - what do YOU think?

Yes - as a gay guy - I get concerned when Hollywood personnel find it necessary to film nude children under the premise of a "gag"

Quite right! You can't view these things through the filter of the 21st Century.

What the heck is wrong with you? Is it possible you're the only person to view this as porn?

Maybe you should some help with your issues!

Tonight I watched Little Miss Sunshine. So what do you have to say about that movie?

In the latest "Sound of Music" memorabilia book, all the children recount their acting experience before they were chosen for film. Kym Karath acknowledges her nude scene in "The Thrill Of It All", saying that it was a closed set the day they shot that scene. She also says it was and is her only time that she's worked nude.

"She also says it was and is her only time that she's worked nude."

I was surprised that in the bathtub scene when Doris removes her daughter from the tub, a little bit of the girl's naked behind can be seen. I wouldn't call it porn, but I thought it was not necessary.

Exactly - no need for nude shots of a little girl.

Believe me, in 1963 nobody would think that scene was inappropriate. But today, with stories about pedophiles in the news everyday, it sure changes the way we look at things. I saw an old rerun of the Donna Reed show the other day. Donna's husband, a doctor, was examining a little girl around 5 years old who was completely topless. What was totally innocent back then, would never be allowed on a sitcom today.

I remember seeing the movie when I was around 10 in the mid-1960s, and feeling mortified for the children who were shown naked or nearly so.

You need to get your head out of the gutter! Those were innocent times..as a 69 yr old.. There are many photos of me running around in undies when I was a toddler.. Parents used to let their children play outside like that..it was a different time..it's now innocence lost..I know when when my 42 yr old was a toddler.. Even then I covered her..early 70's...now with the media, we hear all the horrid stories.. Back then.. Things were kept under wraps..

Completely non-sexual scene so not sure why it's classified as porn. The only person who would classify something so innocuous as porn is someone who DOES see it as sexual. Sorry you got a stiffy looking at the kiddies, but no one else posting on here did.

Child porn? Seriously??? I don't think so...

Wow talking about turning an innocent scenes and turning it into something it isn't mean to be.

Just recently re-watched the film.

Is an eight-year-old child "porn"?

I find that horribly disturbing and says more about the person who says it than it does about the film.

Wow. To consider this porn? I agree, this comment says more about the OP than it does about that particular moment in film. Having been born in the 60's believe me, none of that was viewed as aberrant behaviour in the least. No one thought of that stuff.

You can thank those toddlers with tiaras for today's mindset. The kid was just taking a bath for goodness sake. What on Earth are you reading into that?

Neither scene is child porn. It is normal and innocent, just kids taking a bath.
