First full-color
"nudie cutie," inspired by the success of nekkid-bimbo shorts at
the Town Burlesk Theater in Toledo, Ohio. El cheapo burlesque
comic Billy Falbo stars in a series of shorts featuring anonymous
models who cavort in the park, the shower, the photo studio, and
Chicago's HillTop Drive-In, but never speak (because they
couldn't afford sync sound). This $7,500 three-day wonder played
for the raincoat crowd all over America, and the drive-in
sequence, in which Pierre watches "I Was a Teenage Nudist" and
"Ten Nights in a Nudist Camp," foreshadows the future careers of
director Herschell Gordon Lewis and producer David F. Friedman.  |
