Fans of the male form on film are undoubtedly familiar with 1985's A Room With A View. I featured the film, and the 'bathe' scene in my Monumental Movie Moments. (HERE:) Who can forget watching George, (Julian Sands) Freddy, (Rupert Graves) and poor ole Mr. Beebe (Simon Callow) stripping down for a naked bathe in the pond.
Turns out however, there was another adaptation of the E. M. Forster novel I hadn't heard about. Thanks to the posters at DC however, I was educated about the 2007 version which aired on Britain's ITV. This version featured an entirely different cast, led by Elaine Cassidy as Lucy Honeychurch.
Although the actors were different, the story remained the same, although in this case, the three male characters skinning dipping were not going for a bathe, but simply for a swim. In this version, George was played by actor Rafe Spall, Freddy by actor Tom Byam Shaw and Mr. Beebe by actor Mark Williams.
Given it aired on television, I don't think there was quite as many frontal shots as in the original, but there were still a couple of quick frontals, and lot of rear nudity shown. Check out caps and a clip from the nude romp in the pond on the NEXT PAGE HERE:
