OK 1963, how far could they go to make a porn??? It struck me and my husband's curiosity being presented on SEX-TV and believe it or not we watched it and we had a barrel of laughs.

If you want a good comedy with boobs and I really think that some of those girls take themselves seriously you have to see that, even the warning before it starts about nudity and sexual content is a hilarious!!!

With all the smut on TV nowadays I found it refreshing to actually see what they thought of sex on TV in the 1960's and how far they thought they could go. Thanks SEX TV for being so BOLD! LMAO

Try it! It's worth the laughs...

What could be better than Dave Friedman and Herschell Gordon Lewis lampooning themselves and the sexploitation industry? Well...OK, fine.. a lot of things, but it's fun to watch just the same.

Two aspiring filmmakers get their start in the "nudie cutie" business after watching a Daughter of the Sun w/ The Adventures of Lucky Pierre double feature (two previous Lewis/Friedman productions).

" A great picture. One of the worst I've ever seen" "Sensational. I don't know when I've seen such...lousy acting or phony scenery" "I'll bet we could make a movie as good as that..or as bad" "The posters are more important than the pictures anyway"

With that off they go to produce a flick. Only everything that could go wrong does. Cheezy comedy and seemingly endless footage of T&A ensues.

Friedman and Lewis leave the nudie cutie business with a bang. They saved the best for last. If you're curios to see their early work this one is a good place to start.

Two friends see a nudie cutie double-feature and think they can make money doing the same. The auditions begin, the nudity begins, the laughs ...uh, begin? So much for the plot.

This obscure H. G. Lewis quickie is clearly nothing more than home movies of probable strippers in someone's backyard by the lake, but an amusing way to spend an hour of one's day. This pocket-change skin flick has plenty of cute girls prancing about while nude, giggling to the delight of the wannabe filmmakers, and the handful of people watching this movie.

The colour balance changes almost constantly, I suppose it was difficult for the filmmakers to get the grass to look green (instead of pink/ orange) while stoned off their asses. Either that, or could this be just a workprint, not even an answer print?

** 1/2 (out of 4)

A couple guys friends walk out of a sexploitation picture talking about how awful it was and how they could do so much better. With dollar signs in their eyes the two rent some equipment and set off to make a nudie picture but things quickly go from bad to worse.

Director Herschell Gordon Lewis and producer David F. Friedman obviously had a good time making this picture as well as winking to those who would be watching it. I'd say that this film is much more entertaining today than it was back when it was released because fans will easily get the various references including jokes made about THE ADVENTURES OF LUCKY PIERRE, which is the "awful" film that the two walk out of.

As with most sexploitation pictures, this one here really only has the thinnest of plots but it actually works here. I thought it was quite funny watching two people complain about the quality of a movie and then setting out trying to make their own. There were some funny scenes scattered throughout including one where the secretary decides to try her breasts out and another where the director, producer and cameraman fight over which way to shoot a scene.

The version I watched played under the title UNTAMED WOMEN IN NATURE IN THE RAW, which was the Canadian title. The "boing" nose is a sound effect that happens throughout. You can use your imagination on what it's for.
