Judge Holly J. Fujie dismissed the lawsuit by Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting related to their nude scene in the 1968 film, citing the statute of limitations.
The dismissal came despite Hussey and Whiting claiming that the 2023 Criterion Collection re-release provided new grounds for their case under the California Child Victims Act.
Judge Fujie stated that there is no significant visible improvement in the film's Bedroom Scene comparing the 2023 release with prior versions, which influenced the dismissal.
Hussey and Whiting's lawyer, William Romaine, suggested that the actors should appeal Judge Fujie's ruling after the dismissal of their lawsuit.
