Fun on a Weekend (1947): One of a series of "naturist" films popular in the UK, this film shows a group of nudists engaged in various outdoor pursuits such as picnicking, badminton, swimming and throwing a beach ball back and forth. Such films took advantage of a loophole in British obscenity laws by having a purportedly "educational" purpose, but the camera's tendency to linger on attractive young women at play suggests an entirely different agenda. |
