Wait.....female nudity and it's rated G?!?!?
Wtf how'd that get past the MPAA??? Even "Airplane" is PG, not G.
"NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!!"
What female nudity are you talking about?
shareBoobs. In the movie. Topless girl by a body of water. Can't miss it.

I saw the film again after 35 years a few hours ago. Meh, I've seen worse (or better, depending on your POV). Yeah, it was snuck in there. Oh well.
sharehey, we all got 'em
shareThe MPAA rating system debuted in November of 1968, which meant that 1969 movies were the "first batch" of movies rated thus:
G
M
R
X
(They even had a commercial they showed at theaters where a man intoned "Jim-Rex? What's JIM-REX? Well, its GMRX.)
M was turned into GP when theaters found folks thought it meant X -- and then into PG when theaters found that folks thought it that GP meant G.
X was turned into NC-17 to avoid being confused with porn.
The G and the R have remained the same over the decades.
HOWEVER: In 1969, the first year of GMRX, it seems that the ratings board was ready to give BROAD latitude to the "G" rating -- the feeling seemed to be: "Let's give a G to any movie that everybody can go see."
And so the "G" was given to:
True Grit(a man's fingers are chopped off and he is stabbed in the heart.)
The Italian Job(Michael Caine, fresh out of prison, is gifted with a roomful of hookers.)
Those Daring Young Men in Their Jaunty Jalopies(nudity.)
Eventually, it was decided that "G" should be given to movies for "kiddies only."
BUT: The "G" is considered too "pre-school" in studio circles, so they will put one small cuss word in an animated film to get a "PG" and older children attending.
