I'll point out that while I'm not 13 years old, the actress who played Susan has always been an older woman to me. I have seen her as an adult (though never nude) and still figure she's okay. That said, I also have a youthful memory of an older woman.
Maybe the film genre does add an opportunity for sexual awareness that AR's writings were able to preclude. I am convinced that the freedom from sexuality within these books would be a better read for many of todays youth.
