Nudity in film
Nudist films first appeared in the early 1930s as documentaries, Utopian and docu-dramas promoting the healthy lifestyle of the naturist movement in Europe and the U.S. Earliest examples include "This Nude World" (1933), a narrated documentary filmed in the U.S., France, and Germany, and "Elysia, Valley of the Nude" (1933), a docu-drama filmed at a nudist camp in Elsinore, California. Throughout the thirties, nudist films like "Why Nudism?" (1933), "Nudist Land" (1937), and "The Unashamed" (1938) flourished in road shows, but disappeared entirely in the forties.
