Cast

Reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Stunning Eastman Colour photography; unselfconscious nudists sunning themselves, swimming underwater and giving midnight pianoforte recitals; Tchaikowsky and a flowery commentary on the soundtrack. Approved by the Federation of British Sun Clubs, the film is genuinely wholesome and rather charming in an artless kind of way." [3]

Kine Weekly wrote: " 'Fig-Leaf' opus, brilliantly photographed in Eastman Color. ... Producer-director Michael Keatering's lensing, particularly of the marine sequences, is superb, while Liza Raine's commentary strengthens continuity. The film's not only a boost for 'nature in the raw,' firmly endorsed by the Federation of British Sun Clubs, but also delightful and bracing entertainment. Persuasive and innocuous, it's enough to make prim Aunt Agatha cast her clouts!" [4]
