Films and Radio
From the cinematic tale of Harrison Mark’s nudist feature, Naked as Nature Intended, the iconic British film that brought us, Pamela Green, in her birthday suit, to the 8mm striptease films of Kamera Cine Films and Michael Powell’s Peeping Tom. And that’s not all; we’ve thrown in a few radio interviews and other bits and bobs for good measure.
Out of Step (1957) – Spielplatz
Out of Step was a documentary series made by Associated-Rediffusion in 1957. Episodes lasted approximately 15 minutes and were shown on ITV at 10.30 pm on Wednesdays. The series was presented by investigative reporter Dan Farson (who was once patted on the head by Adolf Hitler). In this episode, he Continue Reading
Beauty and the Beast
Back in 2012, I wrote a post about Stanley Long (1933-2012) that mentioned Desiree and Pierre. Here’s another picture of that double act. Besides Beauty and the Beast, Desiree was well known for such acts as Devil and the Virgin and Apache. Often billed as Mille Desiree or Delicious Desiree, Continue Reading
Two Left Feet (1963) starring Michael Crawford
For a nostalgia buff like me, lots of pleasure was wrested from watching the title sequence of the film Two Left Feet (1963). A young Michael Crawford visits the West End and ends up queuing to see Pamela Green in Naked as Nature Intended at the Bijou Cinema (looks like Continue Reading

Otto Und Die Nackte Welle (1968)
One of George Harrison Marks’s lesser-known movie credits is for the German comedy Otto und die Nackte Welle (Otto and the Nude Wave). I’ve not seen the film but from what I gather Otto makes wildlife documentaries. Out filming one day, he comes across a Von Noeltinghoff filming some nude Continue Reading
Pin-ups and Figure Studies with Jean Straker
I’ve recently discovered that Jean Straker, along with the photographers Walter Bird and Jack Eston, took part in a discussion on Pin-ups and Figure Studies broadcast by the BBC on Network Three on May 22, 1958. On the show, Jean defines a pin-up as “a picture of a girl in which the girl represents herself. Continue Reading

L’occhio che uccide
A couple of Italian posters for Michael Powell’s classic British film Peeping Tom (1960), in which Pamela Green starred as Milly. Nice to see her name on a poster for once. Peeping Tom is available to buy from Amazon.
As Nature Intended: Lobby Cards
A set of six lobby cards from the American release of the film As Nature Intended (1961). In America, the word Naked in the title was considered too risqué and was dropped. Ironically the US version of the film is far racier as the UK release had several cuts. The Continue Reading
