Primo nudo musicale

Having long been curious about this unusual movie (especially after reading the review of it in Danny Peary's "Cult Movies II" book), I finally found this online. My verdict-It's quite hilarious and a fine tribute to those old-time movie musicals that used to take place backstage or behind-the-scenes about staging or filming such things. Bruce Kimmel was the screenwriter, songwriter, co-director, and one of the stars playing the nephew of one of the picture's backers as a first-time director who's in over his head. Cindy Williams-whose "Laverne & Shirley" TV show was starting its hit run during this time-is funny as the studio head's secretary as she makes lots of dirty lines sound innocent coming from her mouth. Another hilarious turn comes from Diana Canova-a year before she started her turn on the TV series "Soap"-as a Carmen Miranda-like performer singing something called "Perversion"! Yes, there's some full-frontal nudity, mostly of the women. Kimmel was such a genius when he thought this up, that's for sure! So on that note, I highly recommend The First Nudie Musical.
