Sexploitation director Barry Mahon's wife Clelle scripted his 1964 nudie trifle about a successful Broadway producer and part-time naturist (assistant director Sande N. Johnsen) who discovers that his leading lady (Nadja Swensen of The Sexperts: Touched By Temptation) is baring it all at the very nudist camp he's attending. The resident "nudists" will be familiar to attentive exploitation fans: Darlene Bennett (A Taste Of Flesh) and her pal Gigi Bad Girls Go To Hell Darlene, Christy Foushee (Scum Of The Earth), Maria Stinger from Diary Of A Nudist, and pin-up photographer Bunny Yeager (Lady In Cement). Featuring knuckle-headed narration and topless scuba scenery but no one-legged man in a Speedo.

Prolific character actor Patrick Wright (Track Of The Moonbeast) and his real-life partner Tallie Tanya Cochrane star in this 1970 credits-free obscurity from New York's Chancellor Films. Wright is a sadomasochistic syndicate hitman who is ultimately lured into a trap set by victim's sister Plushette (Cochrane). Both Wright and Cochrane had appeared with cult movie fave Edward D. Wood, Jr. in the now-lost, Wood-scripted Operation Redlight (1969) and in numerous film and television projects.
Pin-up king Irving Klaw's 1956 burlesque compilation offered up classy striptease routines - all but one in bracing black and white - from such leading performers of the day as Tempest Storm (French Peep Show), Blaze "Miss Spontaneous Combustion" Starr (Blaze Starr Goes Nudist), drama queen Lili St. Cyr (Son Of Sinbad), Dorian Judy's Little No-No Dennis, Patti Paget (The Love Merchant), and six others along with burly-que comedy routines from pantaloons Joe Young and Gene Doyle.
Terrific Tura Satana (Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!) leads a commie spy ring eager to get their mitts on the plans of a whacked-out scientist (John Carradine) for creating remote-controlled cyborgs, ostensibly to serve as risk-free astronauts. Meanwhile, government agency chief Wendell Corey (The Big Knife) is investigating so-called "mutilation murders." Could there be a connection? Ted V. Mikels' 1968 sci-fi cheapie co-stars Tom Pace (Blood Orgy Of The She-Devils), Joan Dixon from The Angry Red Planet, and once-famous socialite Jean Pirie in her only film role. Highlights include a remote laboratory equipped with a de rigueur "master switch" and a notable scene involving a flashlight put to clever use by the late Rob Wilmoth from Love Camp 7.
Carl Anthony (Plan Nine From Outer Space) and Jean Fontaine are pornographers aided by degenerate delinquent Dino Fantini, who rapes and kills their models in this seamier 1960 update to the "sin and salvation" roadshow movies from a bygone era. Former western star Kenne Duncan (The Astounding She-Monster) and Duke Moore from Night Of The Ghouls are police detectives on the trail of the sanguinary smut sellers and their heinous henchman. Also with Buster Keaton's brother Harry and Conrad Brooks from Glen Or Glenda. Writer/director Edward D. Wood, Jr. would later pick up Carl and Jean's mantle with Nympho Cycler, Necromania and more hardcore poundcake.
Former cowboy star Rex Allen, who also narrated Walt Disney live action films such as Charlie, The Lonesome Cougar, co-stars with singer/songwriter Baker Knight ("Lonesome Town") in this 1966 southern swamp spectacular, which also features Sue Casey (The Beach Girls And The Monster), Lyle Kiss Me Deadly Waggoner and screenwriter Dave DaLie as a hunted hunter.
In 1968 Chancellor Films' Chelly Wilson, Queen of the Deuce, distributed a dubbed version of this 1966 Greek film about the titular teenage hellion (Zoi Laskari) who ends up in a scummy reformatory where she catches the eye of the institution's chiseled medico (Spyros Focas). Director Giannis Dalianidis' decades-long career making low-budget programmers such as The Tough Guy With The Tricycle eventually led to television work for Greece's ANT1 network and others.
The late character actor Bill Thurman from Zontar, The Thing From Venus and scads of other cheapies churned out of Texas and Arkansas is fishing lodge owner Cal in this 1967 Lone Star strip-a-thon as an exotic dancer and her bosom buddy torment an unhinged handyman with predictable consequences. With Annabelle Weenick (Don't Look In The Basement) and "Byron Lord" from Whit Boyd films.
Director William (This Rebel Breed) Rowland's final film was this 1970 attempt at exploiting the then-moribund youth movements of the late sixties. Alberta Nelson, "Puss" from The Ghost In The Invisible Bikini, is a psychiatrist exploring family dysfunction...including her own. With soap star Gary Pillar, Berry Kroeger from Nightmare In Wax, and Nancy (Wild Guitar) Czar.
Luanne Roberts from Trader Hornee is the title temptress in this generation gap grope fest from "Benjamin Onivas" with sexploitation stalwart Roger Gentry (The Wizard Of Mars) as the dogged Dean along with Edward Blessington from The Gold Box and Terror At Orgy Castle vet Linda Marie. A virginal nerd couple provide comic relief. With LSD sugar cubes, S&M, and the credit "Ben Dover."
