NUDIST LIFE COLLECTION BLU-RAY

Kino Classics + Something Weird Present Forbidden Fruit: The Golden Age of the Exploitation Picture Volume 14 - NUDIST LIFE / 10 DAYS IN A NUDIST CAMP / SHANGRI-LA and MORE!

Naked Fun in the Sun! It's an Authentic Romp though America's Nudist Colonies! Today's viewers maybe baffled by the cinematic atrocities that mid-century filmgoers had to endure in order to witness naked bodies on screen. Released in the guise of educational documentaries, nudist films usually combined newly-shot material with cannibalized nudist films, backed with needle drop library music, and processed under substandard lab conditions. Eventually these frankensteined became a genre unto themselves, paving the way for the more gruesome Mondo films that would soon follow. Dan Sonney and Maurice Zouary's NUDIST LIFE (1961) follows a quintet of ringers as they visit a Florida nudist colony. 10 DAYS IN A NUDIST CAMP (1957) is a reworking and expansion of This Nude World (1932). In Dick Randall's SHANGRI-LA (1961), Jerry Lewis impersonator Sammy Petrillo provides an uninterrupted monologue of cringe-inducing jokes and nightclub shtick while he stalks a pair of sun-worshippers down the Eastern Seaboard.

       *NUDIST LIFE was mastered in 2K from the original 35mm film negative, a standard definition master was used for sections where the negative was decomposed beyond use. There may also be variations on the Blu-ray from the older SWV DVD-R and Download versions of these same films.
