A young woman persuades her friends to accompany her to Spielplatz naturist resort.
This early British nudist film is typically sweet and innocent, and has some suspense worthy of Hitchcock as the girls stop off en route to Spielplatz to get petrol and admire the historical buildings of St Albans, before finally disrobing - although the efforts to prevent you from seeing their pubic hair are truly heroic.
It's funny to see Olive from On The Buses in the lead, here looking rather nicer than she did in that show. Mitzi might be my favourite, though.
This short's message to take off your clothes is all well and good, but the British climate isn't exactly suited to doing that for more than a few days a year...
Nudist Memories is worth seeing for those of us for whom this sort of thing is a guilty pleasure. It also shows how beautiful England was at the time it was made.
This can presently only be viewed at the BFI Mediatheque on London's South Bank, where I watched it yesterday (you might be able to watch it at other BFI buildings).
