First time full frontal nudity was portrayed in a movie
Isn't that true? When Chaplin does that scene in the street looking at the statue of the naked woman? They do a full frontal nudity shot and you see the breasts, everything. Even though it's a statue, the nudity is "portrayed". And how do we even know it's a statue? It's life size and completely proportional to a human female, for all we know he could have painted a woman to look like a statue. I just always find it curious how he got away with it. If you ever watch the movie again, look at it, the muscles are completely in proportion with a real woman and you can see how it could have been a real woman painted to look like a statue. Maybe it was a little in joke Chaplin played to get by the censors.
