Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

artpf Is this a great movie? No. There is no real plot and no acting to speak of. But it's a great reminder of how movies were pre-Deep Throat.Obscenity laws forced nudie filmmakers to make it appear that these movies promoted public awareness.Hence, this is done as a pseudo documentary. Not unlike some of Russ Meyer's very early flicks. (Mondo Topless, etc.)There's plenty of T&A. Full frontal female nudes abound.The guy's are naked too, only you don't see anything.What is striking about this movie is how hot the girls are. It's a fun movie to watch, but don't expect anything close to porn. It's really just hot girls lounging around in different places at the nudist colony.It's so innocent it's great!

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!

BlackJack_B Diary Of A Nudist was the kind of movie that was extremely controversial and daring 45 years ago. This was the kind of movie that teenagers with fake I.D.'s would go out to see at the drive-ins. For years, mainstream cinema never offered up any skin and seeing the kinds of nudie-cutie quickies from Russ Meyer, Herschell Gordon Lewis, and Doris Wishman certainly were a shock to the system. Today, films like this are considered to be curiosity pieces. There is tons of nudity but very little else. No titillation, no sexual situations, and nothing explicit. Just a group of healthy, beautiful people doing everyday things in the buff.Still, the movie is a lot of fun to watch; even though there seems to be so much tedium and is slow moving. The scenery is beautiful and you feel you are seeing what Heaven would look like in 1961. There are some fine looking women who always seem to be carrying around hats, towels, and magazines over the more "controversial" private parts. Also, Davee Decker is quite lovely; even though her voice is dubbed.If you long to see what an "adult movie" was like in the early days and can accept the fact that it is only nudity and nothing more then you will have some fun with this one. It airs occasionally on Drive-In Classics.

Peter Whittle I think that the comments from other reviewers about this nudie-cutie are a little too harsh.This Film is fluffy & contrite yes;but exudes an American ideal of paradise at the time of the Kennedy pseudo-crusade of 'Camelot'.Meaning that America was then riding the crest of a wave of optimism.This Film seems to capture some strange,incongruous 'feel-good' factor that epitomises this.It has the Pine Trees of Florida,the blue of the everglades & the flesh tones of the Sunny Palms Lodge.The music soundtrack is atmospheric mood-jazz & 12-bar blues.Tiki-stone gods & white Chevrolets all add to the genre. We had a similar Film in Britain at the same time: 1961 called 'Naked As Nature Intended' but Cornwall isn't as HOT as Florida (in both senses of the word). I would recommend people not be put off seeing this Doris Wishman gem.It is well worth the current price of a DVD. Having watched this film recently;it has lost none of it's 'feel-good' impression on me.The 'dubbed' dialogue:- I assume is still the original actors?.This gives the film extra charm because the background noises i.e. birdsong,typing clatter are all on the same track.
