Why the only naked bodies you see on screen these days are men's, not women's: 'No nudity'...

Challengers, the film about a steamy love triangle in the world of professional tennis, is a box office smash. Its female lead, Zendaya , a 27-year-old American on the brink of superstardom, has been described as 'sizzling', 'irresistibly sexy' and plain 'hot' in a movie lauded even by the Financial Times as 'the kind of old-fashioned romantic thriller, long absent from cinemas, in which the audience is kept in a near-constant state of arousal'.

Even in the prudish 1950s, when the standard was set by innocent romantic comedies starring Doris Day and Rock Hudson , the merest hint of carnality made audiences sit up. Halewood reckons the distinct trend towards less sex 'might be Hollywood attempting to clean up its on-screen act – because it doesn't always seem capable of doing it off-screen'.

The rise of the intimacy co-ordinator is the other hands-on way in which the industry has responded to the #MeToo movement. 'You say, 'OK, I'm going to touch you here, if it's all right?' It's very slow but it looks like it's happening organically, which is hopefully what good acting looks like.'Of course, many might accuse Douglas of some old-fashioned sexism.
