Il fiore delle mille e una notte (1974)

Barbara Grandi had been seen by Pasolini for the Decameron but at the time she had been judged too young. But in 1973, at thirteen, she is just enough of a woman to feel defrauded for having been "doubled" in a sequence in which her character makes love with her hero.

Koi wa midori no kaze no naka (1974)

Talking about her nude scene, Mieko Harada said, "I was 15 years old at the time, but because of the nude scenes, the high school I attended considered it problematic. I was forced to transfer to a night high school in my first year of high school."

Frühreifen-Report (1973)

Christine von Stratowa was 13 when filming this movie, where she has a sexy full-frontal nude scene where a man more than twenty years her senior gently touches her body. As 'Seventeen' magazine, #52 (February 1980) wrote, Marie-Christine von Stratowa started appearing in sexually-oriented nude films and photographs when she was 12. At 13 she told a reporter that when she was 12 an adult man photographed her and afterwards kissed and caressed her breasts so she could practise what it would be like during filming. "After the pictures were taken, he kissed me and caressed my tits....I let him do, because of the role in the movie. He wanted to know if I was capable of playing love scenes," she said. (According to the 1974 documentary "Confessions of a Blue Movie Star", Marie-Christine had a full-blown sexual affair with a film director before she had reached the age of consent (14) so he got sentenced to two years of jail.)

The Holy Mountain (1973)

Director's son Brontis Jodorowsky, talking about the deleted scene:
..Oh, and well, in The Holy Mountain I was going to appear in, but they cut my scene because a girl of my age was naked in bed. Only her butt could be seen, but the mother tried to get money saying that her daughter was traumatized, but I knew her because she was in my school, and she were not traumatized. Well, in the end she did not win the process, and they did not give her money, but the judge said they had to cut the scene and I did not show up.

Jeremy (1973)

Some controversy was caused by the nude sex scene between Robby Benson and Glynnis O'Connor, who were both 16 years old and thus minors at the time of filming. The scene, filmed by Joseph Brooks before Arthur Barron replaced him as director, was recalled by Benson in his autobiography 'I'm Not Dead... Yet!'. "The day we shot the scene, Brooks said, 'Okay- time to get undressed.' I was still remarkably shy, even after my 'singing lessons.' We both took off our clothes and stared at each other, scared, in our underwear. 'You're in your underwear!' Brooks barked. 'I said take off your clothes! It's a nude scene. You're making love for the first time!' There were no social workers on the set, no parents, no SAG rules or representatives- no supervision of minors whatsoever. To be a child working in NewYork at that time, all they needed was a permit from City Hall. I called home. My mom and dad conferred and decided 'if I was okay with it, they were too.' They really did trust me. Unfortunately, they also trusted Joe Brooks and the people making this film. So, off came the underwear. It was... traumatic. I tried to use my body to shield Glynnis from the eyes of all the set's lookie-loos. Suddenly Joe Brooks yelled 'Cut!' during our naked onscreen kiss. 'Robby, you don't know how to kiss a girl- let me show you,' and the next thing I knew he was kissing an obviously uncomfortable Glynnis. Creepy? Actually life changing. From that moment on I did not see Glynnis O'Connor as an actor anymore; I saw her as someone I had to protect, heart and soul, " Benson wrote.

Rivals (1972)

In her blog, Jeanne Tanzy Williams talked about her nude scene: "In my role as Mary the babysitter I had a topless scene with young Scott Jacoby. It was quite an innocent scene between two young kids discovering the excitement and sexuality of their little bodies. The day of the shoot for that scene I was very scarred. So much so that on the first take when I had to drop my dress and take off my tiny trainers bra, I fainted dead on the floor. It was, of course, a closed set, meaning no one but actively needed crew would be there. But of course the crew that remained, i.e., camera man, boom operator, director, script girl, lighting men, etc., etc. was quite enough to make me feel, well.... strange to say the least! After I came too... the camera man admitted to having no film in the camera for that first take. Guess he instinctively knew it would be a wash. By the end of that days shoot I was pretty relaxed on set even in my nudity and actually traded jokes with the crew."

Non commettere atti impuri (1972)

In the scene where Maria Teresa undresses in front of her uncle, the 16-year-old Simonetta Stefanelli is shown completely naked from behind and then, when she turns around, she is only seen from the waist up. But in a photo on the set Stefanelli is shown full frontally nude. Director Giulio Petroni explained that Stefanelli was "shy and adamant about taking her clothes off. She has a scene in which she is fully nude but I was clear from the start, before anybody signed anything, about what would be shown and that there wouldn't be any surprises."

Non si sevizia un paperino (1972)

Lucio Fulci was arrested on child endangerment grounds due to the infamous scene where a fully nude Patrizia (Barbara Bouchet) flirts with the underage Michele (Marcello Tamborra). The charges were dropped when Fulci explained that the actors' close-ups were filmed separately, and that the shot of Michele walking towards Patrizia with a pitcher and glass of orange juice was achieved by having an adult dwarf actor, Domenico Semeraro, stand in for Tamborra (if you look carefully, you will notice how different Semeraro's facial structure is from Tamborra's).

The Godfather (1972)

Simonetta Stefanelli, who played Michael Corleone's first wife, Apollonia, was only 16 during filming, including her topless scene. "I had done one in another film," she said at the time. "I don't really like to do it, but if the role calls for it, I will not refuse."

The Possession of Joel Delaney (1972)

In an Oct 30, 2020 interview on the "Let's Talk Jaws!" YouTube page, at 20:00, actor David Elliott discusses the controversial scene at the end of the movie at the beach house. He said that working on the movie cost him thousands of Dollars in therapy. He says the whole table scene was not in the original script when he accepted the part of Peter Benson in the movie. He said most of the movie was shot, and then during the last two weeks of shooting they went out to Amagansett, Long Island to a house and the script was rewritten to include the scene requiring him to strip and dance naked on a table and walk naked to the sliding glass door. He says that his mother, who was supposed to be his guardian, was like "sure, fine, whatever." when asked about giving permission for him to film the scene with the revisions.
