Scenes
Three women are floating in the sea after their boat is sunk by the Japanese in WWII. One of them says the best way to keep warm is to "spend a penny," and another tries it and says how good it feels.
The female P.O.W.s are made to fetch bathwater for the guards and carry it through the jungle, and three of the women pause to piss in the pails. Realistic pee sounds are heard for about 10 seconds, and one woman's face is shown close-up as she hurries to finish before the guards see her.
