you can't censor a look
more to see (before the censors set to work) was a sufficiently titillating inducement to the public to make them want to find out what the censors had left of her.
On the Continent it became necessary to shoot several versions of those climactic moments of revelation, since different countries had different ideas about what constituted "undue exposure not legitimately necessary for plot-development ' ' .
When France made a film called The Folies Bergere, three separate versions had to be shot. There was the authentic version designed for France, Japan and Scandinavia, where they have strong nerves and can take this sort of authenticity. There was a fully dressed version designed for squeamish countries like Spain, which was known as "the Vatican version". And there was an in-between version for those countries where the censorship is prepared to accept realism provided it is camouflaged in a few places.
The variations in the censorship codes of different countries forced the producers to become somewhat ingenius. In one particular scene the Folies girls wore black velvet dresses with long sleeves and two strategically placed windows. For the British and American version of the film these windows were supplied with blinds — which were very properly drawn.
Miss Carol, I think, expressed the typically French attitude to the whole subject. We were discussing why she took so many baths in her films that she had won the title of "The Cleanest Girl in the World".
She said, "I do not always wish to take a bath before the cameras, but my husband — he is the director — he insists. I do not like to do it. I cry. But he is very severe with me. He says I must not be selfish and I must think of my public. So I do it. He is the director. If that is what the public is interested in, we must give it to them, no?"
