Doctor Faustus (1967)
Doctor Faustus (1967) is a classic British film directed by Richard Burton and based on the play by Christopher Marlowe. The film follows the story of a scholar, Doctor Faustus, who makes a pact with the devil in order to gain knowledge and power. The film is renowned for its exploration of themes such as the nature of evil, the power of knowledge, and the consequences of ambition.
One of the most memorable aspects of the film is its portrayal of sexual moments. The film contains several scenes of a sexual nature, including a seduction scene between Doctor Faustus and the devil’s assistant, Mephistopheles. The scene is intense and sensual, and it serves to illustrate the power of temptation and the consequences of giving in to it.
The film also contains a scene in which Doctor Faustus is seduced by a beautiful woman. This scene is particularly memorable due to its use of symbolism. The woman is dressed in white, which symbolizes purity and innocence, while Doctor Faustus is dressed in black, which symbolizes his descent into darkness. This scene serves to illustrate the power of temptation and the consequences of giving in to it.

Partial and somewhat obscured nudity from a distance throughout. Numerous glimpses of female buttocks and breasts. Not overly graphic or obscene but quite frequent.
It is implied that Faustus is continually engaging in sexual immorality, including fornication, adultery, and orgies. Very little of this is ever shown, however, and none of this is very graphic.
At one point, a demon transforms himself into a naked woman in order to seduce Faustus and stop him from repenting of his sins. Partial nudity is seen from the back, and Faustus and the demon then fondle each other, kiss, and embrace. It is implied Faustus then has sex with this demon.
While the sexual content is not very graphic and the nudity is brief and not explicit, sexual immorality is a key theme and presence throughout. Sexual intercourse, unnatural lusts, and hedonism take place and are discussed all throughout the film. However, this is all depicted and discussed in order to condemn such immoral behavior, and all sin is punished in the end.
At the very end, Faustus realizes that what he thought were prostitutes and concubines he had been having sex with were actually demons in disguise sent to seduce him into damnation. These demons who had previously appeared as beautiful naked women then drag Faustus into Hell.
Dozens of naked men and women are shown being tortured in Hell at the end when Faustus is dragged down into the pit. Much more gruesome and disturbing than it is inappropriate.
