There’s a film I saw in the early - mid 80’s. I guess it was from the 70’s and I’ve been wondering what it was. I only remember 2 scenes from it. In one scene, a man who had been taken by a bunch of thugs for a talking to was dropped off back at his home. Only they’d made him strip. All he had on were his shoes and a towel that the thugs had given him. As he was about to walk back to his house, the guy in the car asked for the towel back so the naked guy had to use one of his shoes to cover up his groin area. In another scene, a group of bad guys are sitting around with some woman that they’ve kidnapped… I think there were watching TV. One of them instructs the woman to strip and she does. Any ideas from the TM? thanks… ---

Was this Fargo? I remember some scenes like that, but it’s been a long time since I’ve seen it. ---
