That scene changes the tone of the film for many and prohibits me from sharing this movie with my 13yr old niece who is a film buff and wannabe performer.
Btw: the naked scene is not Jodie Foster, it is her older sister who also body doubled for her in Taxi Driver the same year. Foster and her team fought against the scene, but the Canadian producer made it a deal breaker.
That is quite a fascinating tidbit if true. Foster is an amazing person if she weathered this sort of sexualized commodification at such a young age (her "team" comproised largely of Mom and Sis) and managed to grow into such an intelligent, grounded person with apparently no substance abuse problems.
