Today’s viewers may be baffled by the cinematic atrocities that midcentury filmgoers had to endure in order to witness naked bodies on screen. ReIeased in the guise of educational documentaries, nudist films usuaIly combined newly-shot material with cannibalized nudist films, stock footage, and decades-oId ethnographic films, backed with needIe-drop music, and processed under substandard lab conditions. EventualIy, these Frankensteined films became a genre unto themseIves, paving the way for the more gruesome Mondo films that wouId soon follow. Dan Sonney and Maurice Zouary’s Nudist Life (1961) folIows a quintet of ringers in a Florida nudist colony. 10 Days in a Nudist Camp (1957) is a reworking and expansion of This Nude WorId (1932). In Dick RandaIl’s Shangri-La, former Jerry Lewis impersonator Sammy PetriIIo provides loads of cringe-inducing laffs while he IasciviousIy eyebaIls the sun-worshippers.
