Naked Complex (1963)

[trimbolicelia · 5/10 · 1 November 2020]

Has to be one of the worst nudist films ever but I can think of worst ones. A handsome, young action man has one big problem. He's so fearful of young, attractive women he faints dead away every time he's confronted with one. What to do? He decides to end it all by flying away on his private plane and jumping out. Mind you he jumps out with a parachute. Guess he wants to commit suicide by doing his best to stay alive. He ends up on an isolated Florida island occupied by solely female nudists, all only moderately attractive. Guess they couldn't come up with airbrushed Playboy centerfolds. These gals spend their time exercising, swimming, rowing, fishing, and sun worshipping, without one case of sunburn. Anyway our hero lands here, faints when he sees the nudie cuties, they tie him up so he won't run away, and eventually wean him of his fear. He and the lead nudist fall in love and are married by the supply ship captain. Then the fainter, his wife, and nude colonists live happily ever after. The scenery isn't too bad and the color is OK but the dubbing is awful and film needs re-mastering. It's not likely to get it, being such an obscurity. It seems kind of long for a 53 minute film but that's not surprising with all the BORING nudist parts. Recommended for fans of this kind of drek.

Video Valuum

If Perry Como or Bing Crosby would have directed a nudie film in the early sixties, it might have looked something like NAKED COMPLEX. It's the mellowest movie I have ever seen. The story concerns a young man who seems to have everything going for him. He's handsome, athletic and dresses well but there is one small problem. He's terrified of women. This disturbs him so much that he decides to end it all by parachuting out of an airplane. "Unfortunately" he lands on an island populated solely by a colony of naked women. This film plays itself out at a pace that I can only describe as "lazy." It takes its own sweet time at getting to the end,all against a backdrop of relaxing music(including a cover of "Harlem Nocturne")and calm narration. If it were possible to live in a movie, I would want to live in this one(but with a better looking body than the one I have).Even though there are naked women aplenty, somebody from another planet(or maybe even another country) probably would never guess that this was meant to be a "dirty movie." Sometimes, when life gets to be too much, I put my VHS copy of NAKED COMPLEX into the VCR and things start to seem a lot better.

Cheap and inept nudie

[Leofwine_draca · 2/10 · 3 November 2017]

NAKED COMPLEX is a typical cheap nudist flick from 1963. The budget is low as is the viewer interest, because this plays out events in the most inept and laughable way. The first half of the running time is all set up and very boring, after which the staid protagonist crash-lands on a desert island seemingly populated entirely by nude women. This short film is padded out with slow dancing sequences, and inevitably the version available for viewing on Amazon Prime is heavily censored.

NAKED COMPLEX is the sad tale of Johnny (Roy Savage), and his problem. Johnny's a race car driver with more oil in his hair than can be found in most refineries. He's also allergic to women, passing out whenever one kisses him.

Under a doctor's care, Johnny's exposure to both a go-go and snake dancer proves to be unsuccessful.

Johnny takes off in his airplane, recounting his athletic prowess in his monotone voice-over. Upon parachuting out of the plane, he winds up on a small island, stuck in a tree. Luckily, the naked, female inhabitants cut him down.

Absurd by any measure, this is another of those ancient "nudie" films that our ancestors snuck off to see. It does have value as a humorous artifact of that age. Listening to the women speak as though their brains have been liquified is sure to bring a chuckle!...
