Reception
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "'Within a few minutes the basic situation is presented, and anyone unable to predict what will happen some 40 minutes later would be spectacularly undiscerning. In the interim all runs its dully predictable course through feeble dialogue and acting, plus the usual coyly staid shots of activities and grouped poses by the personnel at a nudist camp – in this instance photographed at Spielplatz Camp, Hertfordshire, which here appears to be blessed with eternal sunshine."[4]
