Ok I read that the actress was born in 1954 and the movie was filmed in 1970. Did she have the right to be nude at 16 years of age?

Originally posted by svsg: . But it is totally unnecessary for movie of such length. I am going to start a new thread on the possibility of editing out some redundant scenes, but till then I would like to know your opinions on this. In my opinion it is a very intense scene, absolutely not unnecessary. Consider Apollonia is a Sicilian girl (presumably she's a virgin!  ) back in the 40's, raised up in a very strict way, nevertheless from the intensity of her looks we are told she got a very passionate temper. When she shows her husband her breast she totally gives herself to Michael, in a most natural and genuine way, in my opinion much more erotic than if they showed us much more than her breast and a kiss. Unfortunately, we don't know much about Michael and Apollonia's relationship, even though Michael always remembers her with much love (in GF3) so I don' believe this scene is redundant. PS. Sorry about my English, hope you got the message....

I agree with Mary Cas & Lavinia who worded it perfectly. Not only does it confirm, more or less, Apollonia's innocence and the consumation of the marriagr etc., but it also lets us see a softer, more gentler Michael. Is there any other scene in which he appears as "tender"? As far as Apollonia's age goes, I think someone said that the laws were different in Italy than in the US as far as child pornography goes. I'm sure someone will recall. TIS

LMAO In any event, Ive wondered about the laws as well, but with a movie as big as The Godfather, if it was against the law,rest assured, you would have heard about it by now.
