Frontal nudity was not permitted, but the tight short-shorts, trousers and swimming suits the men wore left nothing to the imagination. <br />In the "health" magazines like Your Physique and Strength and Health, there was no frontal nudity, but plenty of shots of guys nude from the rear, or in just a jock strap.<br />When Johnny Weismuller played Tarzan his leather loincloth showed half his bare rear end, but no censor objected. (In the novels Tarzan was nude, but they could not show that.)<br />Likewise, females could not show bare breasts, or deep cleavage, but the skin-tight sweaters they wore outlined everything in detail. If they could not bare it, then they outlined it. Biblical pix usually got away with more nudity than average pix, supposedly because they were based upon holy works. Anne Baxter's breasts are clearly visible in her diaphanous aqua gown in The Ten Commandments, but the censors said nothing.

If you see the Dick Malloy movies you will notice he looks like he is wearing a fur coat when he takes his shirt off.

It's a fairly rare one. I tacked on the old color card of him so that people who don't know him could have an idea of what he looked like from the front and without a tooth blocked out. Ha! As for Adrian and Kevin, yes, I do tend to live in the past and they are more recent celebs (though Adrian was a key part of season two of "The Colbys," a show I worshiped!)<br /><br />Knuckles, was that your first time?! Glad I could be the one.

(I do need to cut her out of the picture though.)<br /><br />I don't think I've ever seen Kevin Sorbo or Adrian Paul mentioned on this blog before. They are both two of my contemporary favorite hunks. <br /><br />Kevin in particular would be a dream come true. If he ever needed help with his cleaver I would be more than willing to lend a hand (and anything else he might need)<br /><br />Ending with the Clint Walker medley is genius!
