Blaze Starr Goes Nudist

more sexploitation classics
If you're here looking for a Bermanesque treatise on the soul, you're looking in the wrong place. Pay little attention to the fellow that posted the previous review. Just by looking at the title, he should have known what he was getting into and he deserved to be disappointed. Yes, the acting is bad and the budget is lower than most but Doris Wishman's films have their own particular charm. The folks responsible for The Incredibly Strange Film Show (a British documentary series from the late 80's that profiled cult directors-Wishman shared a profile with Fred Olen Ray) briefly compared her to Jean-Luc Godard in her disregard for the rules of classic film composition. Doris is probably best known for her movies starring Chesty Morgan, Deadly Weapons and Double Agent 73. Enough digression. Both Nude on the Moon and Blaze Starr Goes Nudist are fun nudie cuties/nudist camp flicks. Nude on the Moon (which Doris shared co-director credit with Raymond Phelan) is a ridiculous little...

Blaze Starr finds relaxation
Blaze is a big time actress in this movie who is severly overworked by her lover/manager and must find a restful retreat. She finds paradise at a Florida nudist colony. Now more self-reliant than ever, this causes a rift between Blaze and her manager. How will it end? This is camp madness! Bad acting, bad blocking, badly looped soundtrack, and a lame excuse to show lots of naked people at a nudist colony. It is sheer camp HEAVEN. And the Eastmancolor print is FABULOUS. NEVER has Eastmancolor looked this good. This movie will make you laugh, it will make you cry (with laughter), it will make you the hit of the party!

Authentic for the time
Given the retraints of the time, this is an entertaining enough video. The nudity is very limited, which is awkward given that it is a nudist video. Much better Naturist documentaries are now on DVD, like Mother Naturists and Rituals of Summer both here at amazon. It also doesn't make much sense to have these old titles on DVD as the image quality pales in comparison to the more recent Naturist productions, like the 2 listed above. Overall a fun oldies film but don't expect much nudism.
