MartinHafer "Diary of a Nudist" is an exploitation film that was made at a nudist colony. Several similar movies were made and proclaimed that they were educational in nature, but they really were just excuses to show some lovely naked bodies to audiences. And, it's pretty hot stuff for 1961, though like other nudie films of the era there are no crotch shots.Arthur assigns one of his reporters, Stacy, to go to a local nudist colony and write a spicy exposee in order to drum up readership and get the place closed. But, unexpectedly, Stacy finds she likes the folks there and the nudist lifestyle and joins the place. So, Arthur arrives in order to write his hit piece himself. Will he, too, succumb to the naturalist lifestyle?There really is little in the way of plot....just lots of naked folks. But compared to many other nudie flicks of the era, this one has a bit better production values and lovely bodies (many were, conversely, not so lovely in other films). A strange but watchable curio.

blumdeluxe "Diary of a Nudist" tells the story of a female reporter who gets sent to a nudist camp by her boss to write an article against this new way of life but turns out to enjoy it so much she can't finish the job.The movie is rather short, running only around fifty minutes and is lacking pretty much any kind of story. You can really sum up the plot in a few sentences without leaving out much and that makes me wonder what this is supposed to be. It can't be produced for the sake of the story but it also avoids any kind of nudity and thus is probably not supposed to be a simple sex flick. At the same time it doesn't provide any solid information on nudism as a philosophy or a way of life and is not really suitable to serve as an introduction into the, at that time, rather new and possibly strange movement. The end comes with one of the laziest love stories I've ever seen in cinema making this whole film even stranger and more unnecessary.All in all this is a solidly produced movie telling nothing at all. It has no potential to be thrilling or very entertaining, but if you want to give it a try feel free to do so.

Leofwine_draca DIARY OF A NUDIST is one of the better of the 'nudist' genre of film-making, purely because it's so well shot. The film takes place in sunny climes and features some attractive stars in the cast which makes it an easy watch. The plot is simplistic in the extreme, yet involved enough to keep you interested, and as always the scenes in the nudist camp are tastefully done and about as far away from titillation as you can get.

MathewMrhn I have to agree with the gentleman from England. Seeing this film for any other reason than simple fun would be a mistake! This film is a nudie-cutie. In this day of hardcore, it is hard to imagine that this was the "hardcore" of its day. Beautiful cinematography, beautiful locales and sun-drenched bodies offer a sleepy, idyllic look at an alternate reality. It should be remembered that in those times the idea of the naked form and sin WERE synonymous, therefore, Davee Decker would have been regarded as a lowlife to many for being photographed in the nude. To my mind that makes her a bit of a hero! What makes it more interesting to me is the fact that she looked like the typical young housewife of that era, the lady next door that you would have borrowed a cup of sugar from. A fun little cult film, not to be taken too seriously, I'm really curious to find out if she is still alive and what made her do nudie movies when it was taboo at that time.
