We were taken to see it when I was at secondary school. This was in 1973, just after it was released. Australia was a much more enlightened place then and I doubt a class would be taken to see such a film now, unless it was heavily censored.
It was on the TV last night here in the UK on the US run filmon station. All of the violence and nudity was cut, so we missed the sleepwalking scene ("Out damn spot") but more importantly the entire scene where Macbeth meets the witches and learns that "None of woman born shall harm Macbeth" <facepalm>. Will the Yanks ever grow up when it comes to on screen nudity?
