I insert reviews for any film I've seen that lacks one; this I tracked down online, so it's easily available if anyone is interested, this was my viewing note.... 'Very slight tale of fashion designer who goes on a trip to foreign nudist resorts, being pursued by female magazine editor and her friend! It's a very silly excuse to show of some T&A; version seen cut and B&W. Ok.' I guess it has some historic interest, as an example of what tosh people would be willing to go out and pay for to see some fairly tame nudity. It's worth pointing out that in no sense is it any sort of documentary. My rating is 3/7.

I add a review if a film has no yet received one. I recently saw this at the Gothique film society screening at the Cinema Museum in London, it should be noted the intertitles were live translated as they are in Italian (it's the only known print), this is my review... Oddity, the first film to feature a human brain transplanted into a gorilla, however this is only a minor sub-plot, in the main it's a story of newspaper rivalry, with skulduggery afoot, and a junior reporter as hero. It's a plot that's way too narratively driven to work as a silent, there are endless intertitles to try and explain what's what, the only cinematic bit of the film is some crazy stunts near the end, which don't make sense from a story point of view. In it's favour, it's rare and there is a man in a monkey suit.

I waited a bit before posting this, as I hoped someone would beat me to it with a more positive review.
