Blaze is a big time actress in this movie who is severly overworked by her lover/manager and must find a restful retreat. She finds paradise at a Florida nudist colony. Now more self-reliant than ever, this causes a rift between Blaze and her manager. How will it end? This is camp madness! Bad acting, bad blocking, badly looped soundtrack, and a lame excuse to show lots of naked people at a nudist colony. It is sheer camp HEAVEN. And the Eastmancolor print is FABULOUS. NEVER has Eastmancolor looked this good. This movie will make you laugh, it will make you cry (with laughter), it will make you the hit of the party!

I probably made the mistake of my life watching this a) alone and b) sober. Under these circumstances this is my undisputed favourite for the fancy title "most boring film of all times". It contains about as much exploitation as a videotaping of a third-graders summer camp (except you're still shocked by some harmless PG-13-nudity) and acted even worse (just watch Blaze walk like someone had replaced her spine with a broomstick through the entire movie). But given a couple of friends in the right mood and a case of beer or two you'll probably end up rolling on the floor laughing considering the dumb dialogue, the annoying acting and the stupid soundtrack. Besides that the DVD transfer is wonderful with splendid, if sometimes too artificial looking colors, and the two bonus striptease sequences are a treat, though. Recommended mostly for die-hard fans and camp collectors.

Good Grief, over the span of months that Blaze visits the nudist camp her "love interest" (imagine your grandfather with a bad dye job in a tight pair of bermuda shorts) never changes his damn shorts. And he really should never wear shorts. He should always be clothed. This silly nudie flick has nudist camp footage used in "Double Agent 73" as well.

Given the retraints of the time, this is an entertaining enough video. The nudity is very limited, which is awkward given that it is a nudist video. Much better Naturist documentaries are now on DVD, like Mother Naturists and Rituals of Summer both here at amazon. It also doesn't make much sense to have these old titles on DVD as the image quality pales in comparison to the more recent Naturist productions, like the 2 listed above. Overall a fun oldies film but don't expect much nudism.

My husband and his family knew Blaze from the late 1950's through the 60's when they lived next door to her in Baltimore. After all these years, we just got this DVD to see what it was about. Blaze Starr Goes Nudist is a fun, sometimes slow going, cult, campy movie. If you want pornography--don't buy this one. If you want to see an Icon of the 50's and 60's whose amazing life is well documented in her autobiog and the movie, Blaze (Paul Newman, Lolita Davidovitch), in almost all her natural glory, by all means get this movie. It's so early 60's in clothing and backgrounds. The acting wouldn't win any awards, but so what?

We chuckled at the scenes where Blaze drove her car -- she really didn't know how to drive (or needed to at that time). And an early scene at the pond has live ducks scooting around in the background and a family of ducks sitting by some of the girls which never move a feather.

From what I recall of the standards of the time, the partial nudity is tastefully done. Men wear shorts if their scenes have them facing the camera and the women are posed so that there are no Britney Spears disasters.

All in all, a tame romp featuring the glorious red-head Blaze Starr. DVD clarity was superb, by the way.

...and I'm not saying that because this film isn't explicit (if you want explicit, go for later adult films, not an early 1960s nudist colony film). Doris Wishman has made much funnier movies. "Diary of a Nudist" is a better Wishman nudist film.

There is some campiness which makes this one worthwhile, but Blaze Starr herself gets in the way. Blaze Starr has terrible looking implants, and her character is such an annoying, spoiled child, I can't believe she agreed to have the character use her own name. The whole film tries to make us identify with her or feel sorry for her, which often makes the film more annoying than entertaining.

Basically, Blaze-Starr-the-character decides that instead of "working" (i.e. attending parties to help her modelling career along) that she would prefer to lie around naked at a nudist camp. For the whole film she tries to paint her fiancee as a bad guy because 1) he wants to know where his bride-to-be secretly runs off to every weekend, and 2) because he is upset she is dragging his reputation as an agent through the mud by failing to show up for her scheduled events. In the predictable ending she falls for the camp director, but instead of feeling good for her like we are supposed to, I felt relief for her apparently ex-fiancee.

One does not expect much from a film like this, just plenty of nude women. Unfortunately, this movie lacks full-frontal nudity. A major disappointment. Plenty of breasts and bottoms. In 75% of the scenes in this movie the characters are talking facing away from the camera. So annoying.

Blaze is incredible in this film. If you are remotly interested in seeing Blaze Starr in all her glory get this DVD! Awesome! This is not a movie that you want for the acting.But if you want to see Blaze dressed and undressed yes this is it.

For those of us who are history buffs this is very interesting .

Horrible film. I really only wanted it to deliver in one aspect- lots of naked women. Unfortunately, it came up way short. No full frontal nudity in the entire film. Not even a little. Lot's of topless girls and lots of butts. But it was just to stupid to watch even for that.
