Michael_Elliott Diary of a Nudist (1961) ** (out of 4)Doris Wishman directed this story of a newspaper editor who gets lost in the woods and stumbles onto a nudist camp. Back at his office he talks a female reporter into going to the camp and getting a day-by-day account of the activities. DIARY OF A NUDIST is yet another boring film from the director but I'm actually going to give her more credit than normal because she actually makes this film look like a professional one, which if you've ventured into this genre much you'll know that this isn't often the case with this type of movie. I'll also give Wishman credit for having a good eye for "talent" as the majority of the nudist range from extremely hot to incredibly cute looking. This here is always a major plus but sometimes these films don't deliver that. Obviously the main goal of this film was to show off as much nudity as possible so fans just wanting to see that are going to be in for a real treat. While this here might have been shocking or interesting in 1961, when viewed today you can't help but look at it as being tame. You also can't help but feel incredibly bored because even naked cute girls get boring after a while. There's really no story to speak of and the entire expose of the colony was just used by the producer to make you feel as if you were seeing more than just the nudity. Fans of the genre will probably want to check this out but I'd say most people are going to have a hard time making through the entire thing.

gizmomogwai This movie caught my attention while browsing the titles on YouTube. Diary of a Nudist is the story of a female reporter who joins a nudist camp to write an expose for her male editor, but she becomes one of them. The editor fires her but then joins the camp himself to write his own article.Diary of a Nudist is billed as a comedy but there are no real laughs in it. There's also bad acting and dubbing, and a cheesy ending- the editor reveals his love for the female reporter- that comes out of nowhere and is totally unnecessary. What the movie does have to offer is a lot of nudity. Mostly there are naked women, but also some men and girls. There's nothing really sexual about it, so instead of porn the only pleasure Diary of a Nudist offers is to appreciate the beautiful female form. Except the vagina- the women are usually carrying something to cover their pubic area, or their sides or backs are turned to the camera. Some visual delight is, in the end, what makes an otherwise weak film interesting and kind of cute.Idea for a remake to be titled The Denuded: As in the original, a newspaper sends a mole into a nudist camp. But in this version, the nudist camp puts a mole in the newspaper staff as well. I smell Oscar gold!

Brian Washington This is one of those films that falls into the category of so bad its funny. The film has very little plot and most of the scenes in the film are taken up by showing the various female cast members showing off their best "assets". Also, if you look very closely, almost the entire dialog in the film is dubbed and very badly too. In fact, the same company that did much of the dubbing for films in the Godzilla series, Titra Sound, did the dubbing for this film (and this film was produced in the United States). Also, the ending of this film was one of the sappiest ever. If you want to have a good laugh, you should definitely watch this film, only don't expect lewd, expect nude.

DWilster Ever watch a dull, plotless movie just to see naked women?Director Doris Wishman is known for pushing genre conventions to the limit, and here she combines wall-to-wall T&A with a phenomenally predictable storyline and a stunningly silly ending. (A few naked men, too, but they're not the focus.) The unrelenting wholesomeness may be shocking if you're familiar with Wishman's later, far seedier work.
