Shirley Eaton (who played Jill) didn’t age so well. A photo I saw of her looked like she was Blofeld in drag.

In the Avengers you knew when the bad guys were going to get beaten up. Honor (Cathy Gale) appeared in her all leather outfit. Very hot for the early 60's...:^)

“Several scenes were reshot for European audiences that are now in the American version.”

I spent 18 months in England in the early 90’s for work and was shocked by how different their censorship rules were. To contrast, one of the ‘hip’ classics of the day was ‘Rita, Sue and Bob Too’. It was about a middle aged man who starts affairs with two school girls and they actually show the ‘R’-rated sex scenes in prime time.

The they showed the original Karate Kid a few days later and the ENTIRE tournament was censored! The movie shown actually splices together the scene where Daniel is walking out to the mat for his first match with the scene at the end when he is lifting up the trophy.

I went into work the next day and had a pretty funny discussion about it with my English colleagues. They pointed out that violence is basically censored on British TV, not sex. Of course, after seeing Monty Python so many years before on US Public TV I should have known better . . .

but the MOVIE producers said they would police themselves with a rating system.

I knew exactly what would happen when the ratings guide was introduced and bracket creep has accomplished exactly that.

No. It was HEAVEN WITH A GUN rated M in the first ratings system G M R X. Safe for kids in 1969, not safe today. It would be rated a heavy R if released back then.

I believe we are seeing the original with added nude scenes for European theaters as the first release was in Austria.

It was the early 60’s (1962 to 1964) - the same year as Ursula Andress shocked us with that bikini in Dr. No (1962)....:^)

That shocking bikini is so tame now.

The leather outfits got tighter fitting when Emma Peel came along in 1965 -
