Judge Again Dismisses ‘Romeo and Juliet’ Lawsuit Over Underage Nude Scene
A judge threw out a second lawsuit against Paramount over an underage nude scene in the 1968 version of 'Romeo and Juliet.'
A judge on Monday dismissed a second lawsuit over the bedroom scene in the 1968 version of “ Romeo and Juliet,” finding that the lead actors consented to their appearance in the film. “A comparison of the 2023 release with the prior versions shows no significant visible improvement in the film, particularly in the Bedroom Scene, to the naked eye,” the judge wrote. In the original lawsuit, the actors argued that the film amounts to “child pornography.” Judge Alison Mackenzie rejected that argument, finding that the scene is not “sufficiently sexually suggestive” to meet that definition.
