House on the Edge of the Park

[The cutting of the girl’s breasts and body was not seen as shocking]
True but they just showed scenes from the film and not the whole thing. If the audiences had viewed a few scenes and said there were sexualised aspects to it and it should be banned I'm sure we'd be saying that they should see it in context so the reverse also has to be true I think.
