Plot

Tina is young American woman visiting Great Britain meets and falls in love with Pat, a U.S. Korean War veteran who is involved with a local nudist camp. The young woman is initially distressed at the man's clothing-free lifestyle, but later changes her mind and sheds her garments when Mrs. Darwell, the kindly housekeeper, relates a romantic story of a young couple who fell in love in Paris and later married at a British nudist colony.

Cast

Critical reception

Monthly Film Bulletin said "The 'story' is ludicrously naive, and the nudist content, filmed at the North Kent Sun Club, Orpington, consists of the usual lazing around and swimming, plus a slight novelty in a nudist beauty contest: it should be pointed out, however, that the entrants in the contest are filmed in close-up, so that judging is, apparently, on facial beauty alone."
