How to Undress in Public Without Undue Embarrassment

It might be somewhat disingenuous to label this barmy titbit of mid-60s British B-Movie burlesque a 'nudie-cutie', but with its plentiful burlesque buffoonery, and sequential slapstick n' tickle, this joyfully absurdist, mildly prurient Jon Pertwee-starring comedy of bawdy manly mishaps, verbal claptrap, and ever increasing idiocy, while tremendously silly is, quite frankly, all the more entertaining for it! The more B-Movie tolerant viewer can readily expect to experience a zestfully performed, though not exactly stylishly mounted series of modestly titillating immodesty, and these mildly salacious skits about a nation of stiff upper lips hypocritically ogling a giddy gaggle of glamorous girls thrupenny bits is not without momentary edification! Not on par with Joseph Sarno or Doris Wishman, this manifestly British unashamedly lowbrow, high camp, immodestly silly comedy might have, perhaps, been all but forgotten were it not for the majestically muscular mugging of enigmatic, rubber-faced genius Jon Pertwee, and the mellifluous narration of the altogether fabulous Fenella Fielding is the creamy filling in this only occasionally delectable slice of cinematic cheesecake.

The whimsical title gives a pretty good idea of what to expect from this nonsense "Devised produced and directed" by the director of 'The Seventh Veil'. You know you're settling down to a unique experience when it commences with Reginald Beckwith performing a striptease (mercifully not seen completed) and Jon Pertwee then appears as Adam.

The most truly provocative feature of this innocuous little filler is the voice of Fenella Fielding as one of the narrators; while the funniest thing about it is probably that it originally carried an 'X' certificate.

This film was made on the cusp of the era when anything went. The comedy is unfunny,though watching Reginald Beckwith doing a striptease is worth all the dross. The striptease sequences are hardly daring,and the women are hardly erotic.

I can only assume someone went out and invented the internet so we could see nipples for free in the comfort of our own homes after paying to see this at the cinema,who it was aimed at in the swinging sixties I've no idea.and just to rub salt in it none of the topless actress went on to be famous.

Renown pictures new set - The Slightly Saucy Box Set - Unleashes this rarity on the world.

Featuring Cary On players Jon Pertwee, Fenella Fielding (Narration) and a very brief cameo from Kenneth Connor this film also features several striptease's (Topless Only...it is 1965).

It's more a curio than a lost gem but as I'm a big fan of British Sexplotation it's a discovery for me.

Others On Set - David Jason in White Cargo, Joanna Lumley in Games That Lovers Play, Not Tonight Darling, Sunshine Sweethearts & Miss Bikini.
