What Do You Say to a Naked Lady?

About This Movie

So, 'What Do You Say to a Naked Lady?' is one of those quirky explorations of human reactions to nudity, playing out in real-world settings. Allen Funt, the brain behind Candid Camera, really taps into that blend of shock and humor, with scenes that feel almost spontaneous—like watching people grapple with their own discomfort in very absurd scenarios. The pacing is quite loose, allowing for a genuine feel of those awkward moments; you can almost feel the tension in the air. It's not just about the nudity, though; it's a social experiment wrapped in a comedic package, blurring lines between voyeurism and reality TV well before those terms were popularized. It's definitely a piece of its time.

This film has had a somewhat limited release history, originally surfacing in various television formats before making its way to home video, which adds to its collector charm. Its scarcity in physical media makes it a notable find for those interested in early reality-based comedy. Enthusiasts appreciate not just the iconic style of Funt’s work, but also the cultural context it reflects from the early '70s.
