Review
Agnes Laurent is a vintage example of the French siren! --Look Magazine

Product Description
The 1961 erotic comedy THE NUDE SET, featured the French sex kitten Agnes Laurent (Sins of Youth, The Twilight Girls, Soft Skin on Black Silk) and helped create a new genre of erotic cinema. It is a quintessential example of the erotic cinema of the era when French films like 'And God Created Woman', shook up American cinemas and established the sub-genre of socially acceptable skin flicks.

Originally titled 'Mademoiselle Striptease', Laurent plays a spoiled young provincial girl who coerces her wealthy parents into sending her to Paris, where she plans to continue her romance with a handsome medical student. Once in swinging Paris, Agnes discovers the bohemian nightclubs where strip-tease has become so popular and in no time the timid country girl goes from spectator to performer!

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb in its original context, November 8, 2003

By	John Falicki (Moraga, CA United States) - See all my reviews

The airhead reviewer "drollere" can't step out of his/her timeframe to appreciate this movie, which shows very well the almost limitless energy and optimism of the early 1960s, a period I lived through and remember very well; it's hard to believe it ever happened, given the severely repressed and depressed state of modern culture. When film makers try to reproduce those times now, all they get is a fake surface, as in the 2003 movie, "Down with Love". I'm not saying that "The Nude Set" is a great movie, it's not, but it represents the SPIRIT of those times perfectly, and that's why I've watched it several times -- it takes me out of the Baby Bush Repressed Universe.

1.0 out of 5 stars your grandma in pasties, March 19, 2003

By	drollere (Sebastopol, CA United States) - See all my reviews

total waste of time. the "star" never appears nude, but has various sistah relations with women who do. star also has a somewhat skanky boyfriend, with hipstah cool daddy-o relations with women who do. the women who do, do it sleepwalking, with tired music and tired costumes, hurrying through the sets not because they are nude but because they are embarrassed to be in this movie. bought it thinking, "oh, hey, shots of paris in the '50's," but it's almost all stage sets and cheaply done.
