Joanne Good was desperate to be naked in this

This was Joanne Good’s film debut when she was 23. She said in an interview years later she took the role because it required nudity which she was “desperate to do” since she felt it helped the careers of Britt Ekland and other actresses.

But, to her disappointment, she was never asked to take her clothes off, even though the other actresses playing schoolgirls were.

Closest she got was to have her nightgown ripped open, but nothing was exposed.

What a waste of prime talent. If you have an attractive actress willing to be naked, then far as I’m concerned you have her be as naked as possible. 🤨

Feels strange to be living in a time when you can read a humourous reminisce about the making of Killer's Moon on the Daily Mail's site, and yet the booklet for the current Blu-ray release is full of outrage, finger wagging moralising about the 1970s and tries to link the film with what Savile was up to at the time. Can't we go back to when the tabloid press were the censorious bad guys, and the people who wrote about such movies didn't hold them in complete contempt.

You can read the booklet by freeze framing this YouTube video from about 3:14 onwards
