Nude Scrapbook (1965)
* 1/2 (out of 4)
A nude model photographer decides to pull out his scrapbook so that we can see the photographs while he reminisces about shooting them.
This Barry Mahon feature clocks in at a hour and it's certainly not among his shining moments. The director seems to have a very small following but I'm one of the nuts who enjoy his films and I try and track down and watch as many as possible. There was never great technique to a Mahon film but he got what he wanted (nudity) on small budgets and that's certainly the case here but he forgot any sort of entertainment.
Obviously when you're watching a nude picture like this one the story isn't really that important. Directors like Mahon just went with any sort of story as long as it was easy to get the women naked. There are plenty of naked women on display here but there's very little to hold your attention outside of the nudity. The lead photographer is rather annoying and especially his narration. The women are certainly cute but that's about it. We basically see them undressing and flipping for the camera. This is fun for a while but it quickly grows old.
