Wasn't it actually Pauline showing her "private parts" to a bunch of boys in exchange for a piece of jewellery?

reply

Yes...Pauline lifts her skirt and pulls her undies outward and the boys line up and look. The way she's doing it is rather child-like...the way she's doing it, they probably can't see much, so it's not as creepy as it sounds.

reply

Funny Scene...I liked the way she slaps them out of line after they have a peek! "I've seen better!"...WAP!...

reply

It's totally non-sexual in that none of the boys gets remotely turned on (one of them retches) and they IMMEDIATELY return to playing their games after they've had a peep. It's like her vagina is a curiosity, a butterfly one of them has caught or a dead fox in the woods for them all to peek at.

I remember this seen from when I watched the film as a child. I watched the film last night for the first time as an adult and the scene had been removed! It was on tv so I'm wondering what else they cut out.

reply

There was at least one rather racy scene of the older sister Dawn and her French-Canadian soldier boyfriend Bruce, having sex in an old, bombed-out house. Maybe that was cut as well?

I remember watching this movie many times when it was shown on HBO after release. I haven't been able to find it anywhere on Netflix or the other on-demand or streaming sites.

None of them touched her, they just took a quick look in her knickers.

That was a funny scene. And pretty typical of the kind of things kids get up to, "playing doctor" as we called it.
