I can shed some light on this, for (I'm NOT proud to say) it was my own father who was hired by the censor board to help make the decision on this film. He made his decision based on the fact that Shields (the actress) actually was a young child and thus the production of the film was illegal sexual exploitation of a chile, despite the presence of permission from her and her mother. Thus it was decided that the producers should not be allowed to profit from their film here in this province. It wasn't the nudity or the subject, it was the sexual use of a child. I've argued back and forth with him about this myself, so don't flame at me. Normally he's quite a strong free-speech advocate... -- Brad Templeton, Looking Glass Software Ltd. - Waterloo, Ontario 519/884-7473
