"Titania's costume was beautiful and should have recieved more screen time"
Well, consider her "costume" consisted of green sparkly body paint, a couple of small pasties, and a modesty panel over her vagina..... Yeah, she was very beautiful in this nearly natural state.
And yes, I would have ben happier with more shots of her body. If an actress is willing to do a scene in the nude, the cinematographer owes it to her to show more than just her head and shoulders!

There story about fliming of it. On one of the only days during the filming rain they brought in some local firmen to make it look like raining. They shooting the scene Titania and Oberon meet by the lake. So ready start shooting the scene one of young firemen sees Judi running her place and googles and sprays them with the hose they go into the lake. Dench and Holm had to fished out of the lake and on more shooting for the day. The poor young fireman got balled out by his for not keeping his mind on task at hand. paraphrase from a biography of Judi Dench by Miller. I mean young fireman wasn't excepting any women in the very near nude. What do you think of that?
