Cast

Reception

Kine Weekly wrote: "Here we have an innocuous Eastman Color featurette giving an unadorned account of four young women's experiences at a nudist camp. It calls for little acting ability, the commentary lacks literary merit, and its "shots" showing the girls playing, swimming and tete-a-tete in the 'altogether' fail to excite for the simple reason that the feminine form has remained unchanged since the Garden of Eden. There is, however, no limit to male curiosity and gullibility, and the film's titillating title and' obvious exploitation angles guarantee it some commercial success. Gimmick offering, expressly made for industrial halls, film clubs and export." [3]
