On those days, Europeans still believed in the built-in good nature of Man. So, the boy is a healthy, sympathetic guitar player who won't force the little girl into sex unless she is willing to be initiated in this sole reason to exist (the goddess Reason was long gone, after the reason-shattering slaughters of WW1 and WW2, and god Hazard hadn't been put in her place yet). Anyway, only extreme examples as this (the film) will proof such empty theories... Also: much to the contrary of what "sheenafilm" states in his (her)review of Il Sole nella Pele, Ornella Mutti doesn't appear in the nude scene. The credits clearly say that the scene was taken with the sole participation of an over-eighteen model.
