Street Legal was a 2000-2003 New Zealand legal
drama and thanks to NZ On Screen, they have made
available the pilot (in HD!) and the first
(technically the second) episode. The pilot has two
nude scenes, one from Katherine Kennard and another
from Sara Wiseman but the first episode doesn't have
any nudity although Katherine takes off her sports bra
in one scene but you don't really see anything. Both
Katherine and Sara have done nude scenes in other
productions; Katherine in the 2017 series Dear
Murderer and Sara in the 2008 movie Jinx Sister and a
side-boob scene in The Almighty Johnsons. I think that
the scenes below are probably better nudity than
either has done elsewhere.
Doves Of War, from New Zealand, was a 6-episode
military thriller shown in 2006 that actually stars
two Australian actors (Andy Rodoreda, Kate Atkinson).
NZ On Screen again supplies the opening episode of the
show and there's a brief nude scene from Marissa Stott
where we see her bottom and a hint of her left breast
which looks like there's a patch over her nipple
before she joins a bloke in the shower. Again, the
show doesn't seem to be available anywhere, excepting
these erly episodes. Both Street Legal and Doves Of
War are from the same production company as Orange
Roughies, which is available to watch on the free
streaming platform, Tubi, so never say never.
Going through a few Australian 70s movies recently, I
remembered that there was short film on YouTube that
had a nude scene from 70s bombshell Delvene Delaney,
best known for being on The Paul Hogan Show but for
people my age, she was the hostess on game show Sale
Of The Century for a few years in the 80s. The short
film, The Runner, is from 1974 made by Hexagon
Productions, which is best known for 1970s movies
(Alvin Purple, Alvin Rides Again etc.), and this seems
to have been made around the same time as one of their
films, Petersen. Their movies are well known for
nudity, and The Runner has a number of actresses in
nude scenes as well -not bad considering it's only 25
minutes long and the first 10 minutes is the setup.
Delvene Delaney barely appears in the short. Pretty
much her entire role is in the video below. Gabrielle
Hartley has the biggest female role and has a decent
full frontal nude scene and shows her bottom in a sex
scene. She also wears a see-through gown which a
better quality source would've shown better. Both
Marilyn Rodgers (Felicity, Australia After Dark) and
Judy Stevenson (Alvin Rides Again) who are very
briefly nude in The Runner have also had nude scenes
in other productions.
I was hoping that, as a Hexagon Production, it
might've appeared on the excellent and seriously
out-of-print Hexagon DVD box set but a look at the
contents does not list it and all bar one of the short
films on the DVDs are film school shorts.
Missed opportunity.
But we're lucky to have this available, so beggars
can't be choosers ...
