Nudity

I heard there is some nudity in this movie and the plot keywords noted a flogging. Do they show anything?

The deal with the flogging is when Elvis is in prison and they are whipping him by hanging his arms above his head and using a whip against his nude back. That is the only nudity that I have seen in this movie.

I saw JH quite recentlyu. Certainly no nudity--not in 1957! And there is a scene in which Presley's character, in prison, is subjected to some lashes with a whip or belt, but it's not particularly graphic--nothing like, for example, the whipping of Ned in "Unforgiven" or the brutal, bloody horrors of "The Passion of the Christ".
