Nude on the Moon

Summary: Doris being Doris...and that's a good thing!
Review: 'Nude on the Moon' is a delightfully ridiculous cult classic from the Grand Mistress of low-budget sexploitation cinema, Doris Wishman. It is definitely my favorite Doris Wishman nudie-cutie title.

In this picture, our astronaut heros are surprised and delighted to find that the moon is inhabited by topless women (and a couple of men) that communicate telepathically via pipe-cleaner antennae! Oh, and of course the moon is practically littered with huge chunks of solid gold! A good portion of the film focuses on Jeff and 'The Professor' as they walk around taking photos of the women at play and writing notes on their discoveries while talking without their lips moving! Fantastic!!! Gotta love Doris!

Summary: A lesser effort from Doris Wishman, Queen of the Nudist film
Review: Dr. Huntley (William Mayer) and Professor Nichols (Lester Brown) are finally able to complete the work on their moon rocket because of an inheritance from Uncle Ted. So they travel to the moon and find a bunch of nudist "moon dolls" with pipe-cleaner antennae sticking out of their bouffant hairdos. The telepathic nearly naked women take the pair to be judged by the Moon Goddess (Marietta). Did I mention the women were nearly naked? "Nude on the Moon" comes to us courtesy of writer/director/producer Doris Wishman who also brought us "Diary of a Nudist," "The Prince and the Nature Girl," "Gentlemen Prefer Nature Girls," "Behind the Nudist Curtain" and "Bad Girls Go to Hell." Believe it or not, Wishman did not consider "Nude on the Moon" to be one of her better films because the cast was so ugly. This is what happens when you do not have total control over your pictures, I guess. Of course today "nudist" films such as this one are cute and quaint, but even when they were originally released they were not even remotely close to being soft-core. At least this one has the relative virtue of being in color. The DVD includes the short subject "Cosmic Striptease," the theatrical trailer and a gallery of posters from Wishman's films. This 1961 film was also released as "Girls on the Moon," "Moondolls," "Nature Girls on the Moon" and "Nudes on the Moon" (important difference with that last one, I guess).

Review: If you dig early 60s nudist movies, this is one of the silliest. Good for what it is, though!

Summary: Cute piece of nostalgia
Review: This is Doris Wishman at her most mediocre.... the wonderfully hairbrained script is full of non-sequiters, child-like mistakes and a sensiblity bordering on the moronic. But, still it manages to be one of the most endearing films ever made just from the fact that it is so facile.

Two hardy space-adventurers boldly go.... to the moon! Strangely the moon is covered with grass, rocks & trickling brooks and young topless maidens with a serious case of "workman's-crack" lounge around in the blazing sun. Our two intrepid heroes wear the most ridiculous spacesuits ever seen on screen and are transported to the moon by means of getting in the spaceship, closing their eyes and pressing the nearest button to hand!

Not the most memorable film Ms Wishman has ever made... but ceratinly the cutest!

Summary: Perhaps worth no Stars, but Merits a Full Moon!
Review: Two "scientists," armed with $3,000,000 inheritance (just about enough to buy a space shuttle toilet these days), set out on a private expedition to the moon. And what do they find? Meteor dust? Green cheese? No! An idyllic and telepathic civilization that doesn't wear clothing above the waist.

While exploring this moonscape, which looks suspiciously like Florida, the scientists never remove their low-budget space suits or truly go native. They do, however, spand copious amounts of time photographing the bare breasted women in this paradise. Good thing that this trip only had two scientists ... I can just imagine the havoc a missionary could have wreaked, trying to get the women to cover their nipples!

If only the moon nymphs & satyrs knew the history of Western Civilization ... they would have immediately imprisoned the scientists, if not executed them. In the entire recorded history of the West, this is the first time in which a non-aggressive civilization has not been conquered, assimilated, enslaved, or butchered after first contact. Of course, perhaps that =DID= happen after all ... by the time Neil Armstrong made it to Luna, paradise had vanished and nothing was left but dust and craters.

If you're looking to see really sexy naked women flouncing around in titillating poses, go rent a Playboy video--that's not what this one is about. If the Sci-Fi channel dared, they'd use this movie as MST3K fodder.

On the other hand, it enacts a mythic transformation for one of the scientists, who returns to earth forever changed. This voyage to the moon has been for him an heroic journey, and the life he lives on earth will be forever transformed.

Not much depth, plenty of bare-breasted rubenesque women, no tan lines (no tans, for that matter), and little literary or cinematic merit. Why did I give it three stars? For the gumption of being what it is ... Nude on the Moon, what an incredible fantasy!
