Naked As Nature Intended

Naked as Nature Intended (1961)

* 1/2 (out of 4)

Three female friends decide to take a weekend trip around Europe. Two of the ladies work in an office and are quite limited when it comes to naughty things. The other is a bit more open and before long the three end up at a nudist resort.

NAKED AS NATURE INTENDED is a pretty silly movie and it's a reminder than long before the internet came along, poor men had to sit through awful movies to just get a little peek and some nudity. This film here plays out more like a James A. FitzPatrick TravelsTalk episode as we get to hear about the various locations that are visited and only at the very end does anything of interest happen.

With that said, what does happen towards the end of the picture certainly isn't worth sitting through this film for. Again, it's pretty sad people would pay to see this film back in the day and hoping for something exciting yet they were given pretty much nothing. Most of the nude shots have the cameras so far away from the girls that you can't see anything. The nudist colony material is basically shot without any nudity. What was the point? I guess the point was to show that nudist colonies aren't full of weird or scary people. In the case of NAKED AS NATURE INTENDED, seeing would have been much more beneficial than hearing about it.
