I am not going to do it Robert

It was not in the original script

If you look it was

It only notes that I am seen bathing in a river

There is no mention of nudity

I agree but it is a very important scene

Ralph has just returned from the war to end all wars

He is slowly recovering from his physical injuries

But he is still haunted by the war

Why did he survive when many others did not survive

And then he sees you bathing naked in a summer river

For the first time in years there is a softness in his eye

I am shooting this scene in soft focus

To emphasise the meaning of what he has seen

I can see where you are coming from

But I feel that you are exploiting me

In what way Anna

It is a male fantasy

Sitting on a train staring out of window

And seeing a naked girl swimming in a river

I can think of other things that would float my boat

You will not be the first actress to bare their bottom

I know

Here just look at these images

Jackie collected these for me

I was considering the eroticism of trains

Because a great deal of this movie

Is shot in and around trains

These are all from foreign movies

Closely Observed Trains

Belle

Les Rendez-vous d’Anna

There are many others

Each of the actresses shows her bottom

In a scene that is important to the story

Jackie must really love you

I hope she does

Poor girl

Okay you have made your point Robert

I will do the scene

But I know that I am a bitch

And that you will be unhappy with me

I can see and I share your vision of this character

But all this nudity is new to me

As you can see I have low body esteem

I feel that I am large and not very attractive

I do not see you that way Anna

You are a very beautiful woman

I thought you would say that

So what is the problem

It is a silly but nonetheless important problem

I am all ears Anna

Since I was very small I have been afraid of water

And because of this I have never learnt to swim
