Tagline: The Most Eye-filling Sight Under the Sun!
Plot: When she is discovered to be a nudist, a school teacher is called before the board of education to defend herself. A young male teacher decides to accompany her to her nudist camp to find out for himself exactly what goes on there.
My rating: 6/10
Will I watch it again? No.
Besides the gratuitous nudity, one thing I really dug about this was the light tone. The wistful music and playful narration gives this a feeling of a travelogue or one of those 50s films you'd see in middle school class about etiquette or dating. This picture has a certain charm that's hard to resist. It's also got a shitload of boobs and butts.
Only the scenes at the nudist colony are in color. The stuffy outside world with their close-minded, perverted ways are shown in B&W. I can't say for certain but I'm willing to bet that PLEASANTVILLE (1998) owes everything to this picture. HGL better have gotten a piece of that box office action! The story is a simple one but it's got a beginning, middle and an end and it all ends happily for everyone. The nudity is standard issue 60s nudist colony stuff which naturally includes volleyball, laying by the lake, etc.. At 71 minutes you're not going to get hurt watching this. It's too bad I only had a shitty, washed out 16mm looking print to watch. I doubt this is getting a 4k restoration anytime soon.
