Oh, those crazy moon-hopping kids! There's something endearingly innocent about Doris Wishman's ridiculous 1960 nudie romp with a science fiction twist. The nation's most brilliant young rocket scientist decides to build his own private rocket ship to the moon with his uncle's inheritance and takes off secretly with his partner, a pipe-chomping professor. Much to their surprise, it turns out to be a lush landscape that looks suspiciously like Florida, with a nudist camp in a nearby crater stuffed with topless beauties, posed and poised and waiting for the cameras to click. "I feel like a schoolboy!" exclaims our hero. "Just remember," the professor cautions, "we're scientists." To that end, he snaps as many photos as he can before their air runs out. One of Wishman's best-looking films, it's shot in soft, luscious color, which only makes it look more like a Vargas calendar come to life. The special effects are special only by virtue of their tinselly cheapness, and a cool vibes score accompanies the moon scenes. The print is remarkably well preserved, and the disc also features a cosmic-striptease short subject and a Doris Wishman poster gallery. --Sean Axmaker

Product Description

Astronauts discover a nudist camp on the moon! A brilliant young rocket scientist and his professor friend decide to build a spaceship and blast off to the moon. Donning idiotic pajama-like space suits, they land on the lunar surface and discover a nudist camp populated by shapely telepathic moon gals with antennae on their heads! After first being rendered helpless by a moon doll's magic wand, the men are eventually allowed to wander about and witness the naked marvels of life in outer space. But, hey, doesn't the Queen of the Moon look just like the professor's secretary? "Nude on the Moon" is a hilarious sci-fi nudie-cutie from director Doris Wishman (billed here as "Anthony Brooks"), and filmed at Coral Castle, an extremely oddball tourist attraction in Homestead, Florida.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cute piece of nostalgia, September 24, 2000

By	"the_raven7" (Christchurch New Zealand) - See all my reviews

This is Doris Wishman at her most mediocre.... the wonderfully hairbrained script is full of non-sequiters, child-like mistakes and a sensiblity bordering on the moronic. But, still it manages to be one of the most endearing films ever made just from the fact that it is so facile.

Two hardy space-adventurers boldly go.... to the moon! Strangely the moon is covered with grass, rocks & trickling brooks and young topless maidens with a serious case of "workman's-crack" lounge around in the blazing sun. Our two intrepid heroes wear the most ridiculous spacesuits ever seen on screen and are transported to the moon by means of getting in the spaceship, closing their eyes and pressing the nearest button to hand!

Not the most memorable film Ms Wishman has ever made... but ceratinly the cutest!

3.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps worth no Stars, but Merits a Full Moon!, December 31, 2002

By	Elderbear (Loma Linda, Aztlan) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Two "scientists," armed with $3,000,000 inheritance (just about enough to buy a space shuttle toilet these days), set out on a private expedition to the moon. And what do they find? Meteor dust? Green cheese? No! An idyllic and telepathic civilization that doesn't wear clothing above the waist.

While exploring this moonscape, which looks suspiciously like Florida, the scientists never remove their low-budget space suits or truly go native. They do, however, spand copious amounts of time photographing the bare breasted women in this paradise. Good thing that this trip only had two scientists ... I can just imagine the havoc a missionary could have wreaked, trying to get the women to cover their nipples!

If only the moon nymphs & satyrs knew the history of Western Civilization ... they would have immediately imprisoned the scientists, if not executed them. In the entire recorded history of the West, this is the first time in which a non-aggressive civilization has not been conquered, assimilated, enslaved, or butchered after first contact. Of course, perhaps that =DID= happen after all ... by the time Neil Armstrong made it to Luna, paradise had vanished and nothing was left but dust and craters.

If you're looking to see really sexy naked women flouncing around in titillating poses, go rent a Playboy video--that's not what this one is about. If the Sci-Fi channel dared, they'd use this movie as MST3K fodder.

On the other hand, it enacts a mythic transformation for one of the scientists, who returns to earth forever changed. This voyage to the moon has been for him an heroic journey, and the life he lives on earth will be forever transformed.

Not much depth, plenty of bare-breasted rubenesque women, no tan lines (no tans, for that matter), and little literary or cinematic merit. Why did I give it three stars? For the gumption of being what it is ... Nude on the Moon, what an incredible fantasy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Doris being Doris...and that's a good thing!, March 30, 2003

By	The Raven (Herndon, VA) - See all my reviews

'Nude on the Moon' is a delightfully ridiculous cult classic from the Grand Mistress of low-budget sexploitation cinema, Doris Wishman. It is definitely my favorite Doris Wishman nudie-cutie title.

In this picture, our astronaut heros are surprised and delighted to find that the moon is inhabited by topless women (and a couple of men) that communicate telepathically via pipe-cleaner antennae! Oh, and of course the moon is practically littered with huge chunks of solid gold! A good portion of the film focuses on Jeff and 'The Professor' as they walk around taking photos of the women at play and writing notes on their discoveries while talking without their lips moving! Fantastic!!! Gotta love Doris!
