Sex & Nudity

  • Very near the beginning of the film a woman is shown in a blouse with some of the buttons undone revealing some cleavage.
  • Bill says to Pete, "Find yourself a girl Pete...find yourself a dozen." Pete: "I've got your permission have I "Dad" ?", Bill: "Permission?...my thoughts will be with you."
  • Two men are eating supper and a waitress makes a joke to one of them (who is married) about him being fresh and then he watches her walk away and says "Some times I think I could...in fact, I'm sure I could." (could be fresh)
  • In a newspaper we see a woman in a bikini. We also see a close-up shot of a woman's rear (she's wearing a bikini) pan out as she walks by another woman in a bikini top. The next scene see some women in one and two piece bathing suits sun bathing.
  • Pete finds Jeannie sunbathing (she is revealing her legs and her abs) and lies down beside her.
  • Jeannie is shown topless and is turned away from the camera but you can still see her breasts in a mirror on the far wall. And when she turns around she has a towel draped around her neck but you can still see a lot of her breast and the rest of her, waist up.
  • Peter and Jeannie make out on a bed. (brief)
  • Based on a viewing (according to the trivia section) of the edited - towel - version.
