More "PG-13" than "R" Rated Movies?

The school I was attending at the time, took us to see Romeo and Juliet (1968 version) and even though it was rated G, Juliet was topless in it during one scene. That ended up causing some at the school to get in hot-water. I don't remember what grade I was in at the time but it would have been between 3rd grade and 8th grade. Actually though, I'm now not sure it was rated-G when we saw it. Apparently in 1973, it was re-rated to be PG so it's more likely that when I saw it, it had been re-rated PG. For some reason I was thinking it was G. Oh well.

Heh, just noticed the below trivia fact from that site as well. Makes me wonder if that would even be legal these days. Apparently, she wasn't even 18 and I thought you had to be 18 to do nudity, but I could be mistaken on that.

Olivia Hussey wasn't legally allowed to attend the London premier of the movie as it contained nudity and she was under 18.
