'Great Camp' and not the nudist camp kind, either.,
5 April 2010
Warning: Spoilers
*Spoiler/plot- 1961, Nude on the Moon, When the NASA moon missions first landed August 1969 on the moon, they only found a dead rock. They should have gotten there back in the swinging' 1960s, when Doris Wishman, the film's director, did. The moon was filled with delightful nudists enjoying themselves! The amazing moon-ladies are just like earth-women, except for their extraordinary telepathic powers and cute head antennae, and their penchant for nudist life.

*Special Stars- Marietta as the moon goddess. Doris Wishman directed this special kind of film genre of the time.

*Theme- Moon people are not inhibited. Earth people are.

*Based on- South Sea Island travelogues.

*Trivia/location/goofs- The film was made at the tourist stop, Coral Castle in Florida. The USA astronauts moon suits are hilarious. They are made of studded canvas, ant sprayer bottles and toy helmets. Doris Wishman directed five films to advertise the benefits of being a 60's nudist. Interesting to see what was the normal nude body type in the society then, heavy than todays plastic surgery soaked society. When Dr. Huntley and the Professor are driving to the launch site, they pass the Variety Theater, which is showing Hideout in the Sun (1960). That film, which was Doris Wishman's first movie (Nude on the Moon was her second).

*Emotion- Great camp and not the nudist kind, either.
