Not One of Wishman's Best, May 7 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Blaze Starr Goes Nudist (DVD)
...and I'm not saying that because this film isn't explicit (if you want explicit, go for later adult films, not an early 1960s nudist colony film). Doris Wishman has made much funnier movies. "Diary of a Nudist" is a better Wishman nudist film. There is some campiness which makes this one worthwhile, but Blaze Starr herself gets in the way. Blaze Starr has terrible looking implants, and her character is such an annoying, spoiled child, I can't believe she agreed to have the character use her own name. The whole film tries to make us identify with her or feel sorry for her, which often makes the film more annoying than entertaining. Basically, Blaze-Starr-the-character decides that instead of "working" (i.e. attending parties to help her modelling career along) that she would prefer to lie around naked at a nudist camp. For the whole film she tries to paint her fiancee as a bad guy because 1) he wants to know where his bride-to-be secretly runs off to every weekend, and 2) because he is upset she is dragging his reputation as an agent through the mud by failing to show up for her scheduled events. In the predictable ending she falls for the camp director, but instead of feeling good for her like we are supposed to, I felt relief for her apparently ex-fiancee.

Authentic for the time, Jan 26 2003
This review is from: Blaze Starr Goes Nudist (DVD)
Given the retraints of the time, this is an entertaining enough video. The nudity is very limited, which is awkward given that it is a nudist video. Much better Naturist documentaries are now on DVD, like Mother Naturists and Rituals of Summer both here at amazon. It also doesn't make much sense to have these old titles on DVD as the image quality pales in comparison to the more recent Naturist productions, like the 2 listed above. Overall a fun oldies film but don't expect much nudism.
