PG?
Does it have nudity?
shareIt does have brief nudity – female, of course. That didn't automatically generate an R-rating in the early '80s.
shareThe rating is sort of surprising. Some nudity, but also the really dark tone and theme.
shareAgreed on all counts. The tone at times is indeed pretty vicious, aided in part by a rather excellent suspense score by Robert O. Ragland. But also, there's no getting around that full-frontal nudity in the opening murder sequence (including a particularly explicit close-up). Given the low-budget indie roots of the film, it may have been easily dismissed by the ratings board and deemed harmless, or perhaps those watching didn't even notice (??). Yet, the irony is that the film's PG-rating made possible its very heavy day-and-night cable rotation in the early 80's...meaning that, in the early AM several times a month, one could easily catch that murder scene with full-frontal female nudity.
