Cleopatra Jones and the Casino of Gold : Nudity edited?

Nudity edited?

Stella Stevens, playing the villainous Dragon Lady, was seen nude behind a filmy screen when she changed dresses. But was there more??

One scene has her primping at the mirror after her bath (wearing a see-through black robe), but did they film her actually taking the bath?? All those cute Chinese servant girls around and not doing anything? :-)

(And I don't mean Stella's lesbian scene with them... which is another possibility of nudity left on the cutting room floor.)



Re: Nudity edited?

I also sensed the film-editors cut a LOT of Stella Stevens footage.

Re: Nudity edited?

Now that is a shame!

Re: Nudity edited?

I've read the book, which I feel was written based upon the original screenplay. There's a scene where the Dragon Lady is in bed with Madalena, with the former touching her little plaything in intimate places.

Re: Nudity edited?

I distinctly remember seeing this film back when it was first released...and there was some Stella Stevens nudity in the lesbian scene.

Re: Nudity edited?

Absolutely was, as I remember as well. Dragon Lady's usual attire in her bedchambers was a long, see-through negligee. Stella Stevens is clearly nude from several perspectives.

Re: Nudity edited?

I ran across this Stella Stevens photo online. Compare the hair and background to the sunken bath in the movie. They are the same! More evidence that a bath scene was shot. What happened to it??

Re: Nudity edited?

The stated running times here are:
US 94 minutes
UK 96 minutes
Australia 96 minutes

Could those two extra minutes be Stella Stevens nudity?
