Sande (N. Johnsen) is a successful Broadway director ... but he also
has a dark secret, he has just joined a nudist camp down in Florida, and
he feels the lifestyle rather agreeable to him (even though he always
wears trunks), so much so that he decides to make a movie about the camp,
and all the naked people in the camp prove very helpful. Then though the
camp owner tells him there is an actress among the nudists who might be
more than happy to take the lead in his film ... and it turns out to be
Nadja (Swensen), the leading lady of his last play, and at first it's an
embarrassing moment for both of them to find each other at a place like
that ... but they soon ease to the situation, and Nadja agrees to be his
leading lady - which basically means posing nude for Sane everywhere,
there doesn't seem to be any acting or anything else involved. Sande
starts to love how the nudists are one with nature, so he decides to take
some of them out with him on a scuba diving trip, to take some underwater
shots - even if the nudists are not too lucky they have to
"wear" scuba diving gear - but they soon enjoy it ... For
the most part, your typical early-to-mid 1960s nudist camp movie: You see
plenty of naked girls, many nice asses and tits, but ridiculous (and
hilarious all the same) attempts are made to show no full frontal nudity
of the lower area, men are only naked when they're just allowed to sit
around and hide their members and behinds. This is all set to a cheesy
story about the joys of nudism with no real narrative structure or actual
dramatic highlights, all carried by an off-screen narration (there is no
on-screen sound) set to a jazzy easy listening score. What sets this film
apart ever so slightly are the scuba-diving scenes which are very
well-shot and show the girls (wearing bikini trunks in this scenes though)
at their prettiest. This though is not enough to make the film anything
special (even within the genre), but if you enjoy nudist camp movies as
such for their cheesiness and campiness, this one is sure one of the
better ones ...
