Some other points of interest:
Court said she was paid an extra £2000 for the scene. It was one of the first nude scenes of its kind to be shot in England. They cleared the set and had just a skeleton crew. She said she agreed to do it because the scene warranted the nudity and it was shot beautifully. If it had been gratuitous, she would have refused.
The topless image that Court included in her autobiography shows her staring out mindlessly to the left. This image has been posted all over the internet since 2008. An upscaled version is posted here. But we can now see, this is not a still shot from the international version of the film. The image must have been taken from other footage of the scene left on the cutting room floor. That could mean the topless outtakes of Court may still exist somewhere.
I always assumed that the censored version would be just the same footage as the uncensored version but just tightly cropped on Court’s face. However, now comparing the two versions, I see that the shots of Court were filmed differently for each version. The mouth and eye movement are different in each for the corresponding dialogue. So, she was filmed twice: first in a wide shot of her topless and then with the camera zoomed in more on her face.
