...floor of their apartment, strewed it with pattern-objects like fishnets and doilies, and one lay down naked on it while the other went over the paper with a portable sun lamp, making giant prints. Only one of the works survives: the blue roentgen ghost of a nude, eerily transparent. Later, Rauschenberg put a similar motif?a sectional X ray of his own body?in the largest and most spectacular of his lithographs, Booster...
WITH THIS SAME sardonic mischievousness werealize in retrospect Borowczyk has done a whole number on "artsy" filmotography that will probably keep duped "cinema" students taking copious notes. Freudian symbolism gushes from every object close-up: the postcard nudes looking like overripe cherubs, the town philosopher walking his black Great Dane, the chamber pots that our protagonists keep filling with pure water. One bit of this spoof is priceless: after some gorgeous but solemn footage of a French museum, Borowczyk has one of his characters distractedly walk right into the lap of a painted reclining nude...
...When the nude revue Oh! Calcutta! opened in New York in 1969, it became at once an asterisk in theatrical history.

In Eden, Adam and Eve are discreetly nude, and without navels. Heyman insists that he will film every jot and tittle of the Law of Moses, but his project will be well into the 1990s before he faces the challenge of dramatizing the doctrinal letters of the Apostle Paul...
...false accusation that the princess had indulged in a sexual encounter in a public lavatory at Paris' Orly Airport, the Sunday Telegraph, which wrongly claimed she was pregnant with Amin's baby, and the Sun, which mistakenly put her name in the caption for a nude photo. Meanwhile, Movie Stars Robert Wagner and Natalie Wood won a suit against Reveille, a British picture magazine that had claimed they were headed for a second divorce. "We are very happily married," asserted Wagner as he and the missus left court. And happily richer, as was the princess. Amounts...
