Nude on the Moon (dvd):

Amazon.com video review: Oh, those crazy moon-hopping kids! There's something endearingly innocent about Doris Wishman's ridiculous 1960 nudie romp with a science fiction twist. The nation's most brilliant young rocket scientist decides to build his own private rocket ship to the moon with his uncle's inheritance and takes off secretly with his partner, a pipe-chomping professor. Much to their surprise, it turns out to be a lush landscape that looks suspiciously like Florida, with a nudist camp in a nearby crater stuffed with topless beauties, posed and poised and waiting for the cameras to click. "I feel like a schoolboy!" exclaims our hero. "Just remember," the professor cautions, "we're scientists." To that end, he snaps as many photos as he can before their air runs out. One of Wishman's best-looking films, it's shot in soft, luscious color, which only makes it look more like a Vargas calendar come to life. The special effects are special only by virtue of their tinselly cheapness, and a cool vibes score accompanies the moon scenes. The print is remarkably well preserved, and the disc also features a cosmic-striptease short subject and a Doris Wishman poster gallery. --Sean Axmaker
