question about the love scene


I just had a question about the love scene now i read that.Brando through out was wearing pants with boots on .In the one scene where hes laying down and he grabs her.You can see he's got no pants on and it looks like hes wearing some kind of shiny underwear .Now are those stunt legs or something ?

HA HA HA I noticed that metallic-looking wienie bikini, too!  I didn't read or hear that they used a body double for any of the sex scenes, I just assumed they had Brando wearing a tiny thongy thing so he wasn't totally naked, and it accidentally made it into a cut. It did sort of appear that the legs were farther away than where Brando's legs should have been, though, as if a 3rd person was there, laying next to him (which is also what popped into my head at that moment).

I also wondered why it was shiny...LOL. My only guess is that at the time, in 1971, those "crotch hammock" style men's bikinis were not very popular (in public) and probably the only kind they could get was a glitzy version of the thing from a sex shop or something. As opposed to now where (unfortunately) you can get them in any color almost anywhere. Maybe it was the body double's own personal thong?

Although, why wouldn't they just have someone just sew a custom one out of flesh-colored material?
