Are you kids?

Makes me sick.

Oh, please.

Lose my body to keep you alive.

Drugs.

Often the introduction comes in the form of a goofball.

I may be a bitch, but I'll never be a butch.

Better than the girl who tells herself to a man.

Good work.

And now, Miss Butler.

She's all outraged.

I have a drug here.

LSD.

Perhaps you've heard of it.

You listen.

And you listen well.

You're damaged merchandise.

And this is a fire sale.

Well, Frank, like one of those long hard ones.

Have you ever had an Egyptian feast?

My hands are bleeding.

It's my tag. He's doing it.

Down inside, you're dirty.

Do you hear me?

Dirty.

When Sandy Borden, famous Broadway director, closed a show, it was always

custom to give a party to the cast.

The party was like a farewell party.

Sandy had the feeling he was saying goodbye to old friends, particularly in

case of his meeting lady Nadja Adams, with whom he'd worked closely during the

long run of their Broadway show.

Finally, during the course of the evening, Sandy got a chance to talk with

Nadja. They discussed their prospecting plans for the summer.

Nadja told him about the interesting summer stock work she'd find out for

herself.

Sandy told her that he, too, would be getting away from the city, and that he

would be directing a show at Summer Theater.

The following week... Sandy set out on his trip.

He thought about his remarkable hotel nudge and where he was really going for

the summer.

His real destination were the small nudist colony off the coast of Florida,

which could only be reached by boat.

He'd been there once before and thought of an invigorating and relaxing way to

spend the summer.

free from the tensions of his busy life in the city.

But not many people understand the philosophy of nudism, and he hadn't

reveal his own initiation into it.

Actually, nudism originated many years ago when a group of free thinkers

to take advantage of the sun to its fullest without the restrictions of

and clothes.

They believed that in order to get close to nature, one must first rid himself

of material concerns.

The idea of clothes under the circumstances seemed ridiculous.

Camps began to be put, resembling any normal camp where people go to get sun

exercise, and the only difference being the wearing of clothes.

The seclusion and privacy of this muted camp attracted Sandy, and were

determining factors in his desire to spend the summers there.

Nudists are a healthy and active group of people, and sports participation is

daily and constant.

Candy couldn't help feeling somewhere out of place as he stood still fully

viewing the activities.

He wondered why he even bothered to conceal from his leading lady his own

initiation into nudism.

Clothes really seemed unnecessary in this setting.

and the members of the camp seem to be enjoying a healthy exposure to the sun.

No need to worry about bikini strap marks here.

Sandy lost no time in getting out of his hot clothes and joining the other

members of the camp.

The owner, Mr. Sandoz, greeted him with enthusiasm and asked him how his career

was going.

He had been impressed by Sandy's interest in photography, and because

a well -known director, he suggested that a movie be made at the camp.

Sandy thought the idea was a good one.

However, there were no actors.

Mr. Sandoz then happily informed the young director that there happened to be

Broadway actress staying at the camp, and that perhaps Sandy could persuade

to work with him.

Sandy greeted this prospect happily, anxious to meet a fellow artist who,

himself, chose to get away from everything and experience a way of life

different from the normal.

Mr. Sandler was delighted and took Sandy to find the young actress who was

somewhere on the grounds of the camp taking in the sun.

The actress in question was his own leading lady, Nadja Adams, was unknown

Sandy, and he was both shocked and amused at the discoverer.

Nadja was even more surprised to meet Sandy, and both were immediately

embarrassed, remembering how they had lied to each other to conceal the truth.

However, the naturalness of their setting soon made them forget the

world. Sandy told Nadja she could have her chance to act this summer after all.

if she would work with him on a movie right there at the camp.

Nadja agreed that the setting of the camp would be a desirable place to make

movie, and they began to make plans.

In discussion with Mr. Sandoz, Sandy asked him if the nudists would mind

photographed. Mr. Sandoz explained that the members of the nudist colony were

fun -loving and very good sports, and that Sandy would find them cooperative

willing to participate in the movement.

He explained that the members were uninhibited about their bodies, being

-minded enough to be there in the first place.

Mr. Sandoz thought they should get started right away, and he produced a

camera for Sandy's inspection and use.

Sandy and Nadja went off to get better acquainted with the members of the camp.

The first two young ladies did away with any of Sandy's fears as to their

willingness to produce weight and completely supported what the camp owner

said about them being cooperative.

They were all too happy to pose with Nadja and almost stole her scene with

natural, unaffected beauty.

When the clothes are shed, so are any unhealthy attitudes about the human

And the body becomes an instrument of pride.

by their cooperation, and even more impressed by the groups of sun -loving

individuals who gather around the poolside.

One aspect of nudism is its tendency to bring people closer together.

By ridding them of material differences, they're put on a more equal basis.

and the proponent attitude is one of open -frontedness.

Reflecting upon the natural attire of the bathers, Sandy humorously remarked

a charming couple by the pool that this was probably the closest they could come

to literally sunbathing.

Nadja was enjoying her participation in the most relaxing role she'd ever

played.

After considerable shooting, it was time to leave this happy scene.

Sandy and Nadja were off and started getting new places.

Like any other camp, the nudist camp has its physical fitness programs, so it

was not unusual to encounter a girl doing her daily exercises.

Not to remark that she had exercises similar in her dance classes, so Sandy

an opportunity to shoot them both exercising together.

Thank you.

When Sandy and Nadja left the girl to do her high kicks, Sandy had made a mental

note about the potty beautiful and how it got there.

The pool was deserted as Sandy and Nadja returned to catch their breath and

decide where to go next.

The little can was so full of activity that it was hard to decide.

Nadja felt she wasn't tired yet, so they described a new shooting project.

A volleyball game was in progress that afternoon, and Sandy wanted to get some

films of it.

Organized sports are part of the curriculum in a nudist camp, and again

was impressed by the exuberance and unselfconsciousness of the participants.

They seemed unaware of the camera, yet they threw themselves into the game like

natural performers.

It was time to amuse her.

So Sandy got the camp's pet monkey into the scene.

She had never played opposite a monkey before.

Thank you.

Thank you.

As the movie progressed, the members of the camp seemed even more cooperative

and friendly.

They didn't mind being interrupted in their picnics, games, or relaxations,

when Sandy explained about the movie, they were all eager to participate in

They performed like troopers, responding to Sandy's direction, and they did not

seem to feel that their privacy was being imposed on when he put them in

daily activities.

In fact, it occurred to Sandy that perhaps the very philosophy of nudism,

teaches one to be uninhibited about his body and to move about in unrestricted

freedom, would be very good training for the theater.

These healthy young creatures were not self -conscious in any way and developed

a confidence that made them natural actors.

One girl had expressed to Sandy a secret desire to be an actress, so Sandy let

her have a big scene with Nadja.

The two girls got along remarkably well, each trying to out -mug and out -pose

the other one.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

The small sandy patch of beach overlooked the lake and disclosed a

circling the lake.

He decided it would be a good tactic to lure so off the lake in search of new

shooting places.

Sandy found still more and new things to focus his camera on.

Sometimes he found that the nudists were not even aware of his presence, so

engrossed were they in their activities.

He did not mind this occasional obliviousness of the camera, but

preferred that they proceed naturally without any self -consciousness that the

knowledge of a camera could provoke.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Mind being photographed, Sandy was happy.

This couple certainly did not show any self -consciousness as they bathed

in the open air surrounded by rural scenery.

How much closer could one get to nature?

And with such lovely company, too.

But as Sandy kept realizing more and more, nudists were not self -conscious

people. And because they were so uninhibited... Two people could enjoy

and natural things together, which otherwise would carry complex

After all, because the couple did not have to take off any clothes in order to

take a shower, taking a shower together was really no different than going for a

walk together.

Whatever relationships developed in a nudist camp, they developed hopefully.

Even Sandy's relationship with Nadja had a groove, which prior to this summer

had been primarily perpetual, and not without its formal tensions.

While watching the way the nudists played freely in the sand, Sandy

again on the way in which nudism encouraged one to partake of nature's

The free -flowing movement of the sand itself suggested to Sandy the freedom

nudists would shroud stone for, doing along themselves with their own natural

respections.

But something was missing.

Sandy soon realized that it was the sea.

His own experience and love of the sea caused him to make an...

a new separable connection between the sand and the ocean.

And at that moment, he began to formulate an idea for a little group of

He decided he would present his idea to the members of the camp later that

evening after first talking it over with them.

Thank you.

It was a good feeling for Sandy to be able to relax along with everybody else

around a warm cabin fire that night.

An atmosphere of cheerful friendliness permeated the entire room.

And when Sandy presented his idea to rent a private boat and take it deep

the ocean, where he could photograph them moving about in real freedom

the waters, he was greeted with much enthusiasm, even by those who did not

they would be decked out like fishes, fully equipped to move and breathe

the water.

Those who were not familiar with the art of scuba diving were well versed in it

by the time they set out on their excursion.

The boat was full of eager, naked bodies, anxiously awaiting their first

to the ocean depths.

The ocean water was supposed to be all of 20 degrees rougher than the breezy

above it.

This eager little mermaid seemed all too content to await her turn of descent,

basking in the sun above.

As Sandy helped the first diver on with her fish -like costume, he again went

over the function of the school of gear.

He humorously told her that even for a musician, there are times when some

clothing is necessary.

In this case, a matter of life and death.

as he explained the necessity of the heavy, uncomfortable tanks.

In order to go deep into the ocean so as to enjoy the real freedom of movement

without worrying about coming up for air, it is necessary to wear the heavy

tanks full of air and to keep breathing at all times through the tube inserted

in the mouth.

That is what makes the difference between skin diving, where no air tank

used, and scuba diving.

Already Sandy was getting apprehensive complaints about the cumbersome weight

the tanks on the back. He explained how... Underneath the water, the tanks

become light and can hardly be felt.

Sandy was impressed with the good sportsmanship of the first volunteer,

admitting how, taken out of context, the gear itself presented an amusing sight,

especially to those not used to wearing any clothes at all.

But here was a case where the material garb helped to bring one closer to

unveiling to him mysteries otherwise unknown to mortal man.

Sammy had explained all this the day before when he gave a demonstration in

camp swimming pool, but nothing could quiet his enthusiasm for underwater sea

exploration, and it had long been his ambition to film actual underwater

What could be better than live mermaids?

He had felt that scuba diving would be particularly appealing to nudists.

And as there goes total exposure to the sun and the air, so why not the sheep?

Thank you.

about ready to leave the boat, the fully -breath mutant refused to slip the

goggles down over her mouth until she had again been reassured by Sandy that

there were no sharks waiting to spoil her aquatic journey.

Having reassured her that there were no sharks nearby, Sandy was pleasantly

reassured by her performance that he had been right in suggesting the trip.

She took to the sea like a natural fish, and Sandy had to do some fast flipping

of his flippers to keep her in camera range.

He was again impressed by the adaptability of the nudists and the

approach they had to most of nature's elements.

Thank you.

The group of gear was limited in quantity, so the nudists, in their usual

shared and took turns going into the water, patiently waiting until their

nudists had finished their swim and shed their dine.

The initial step from the side of the boat was a tedious one. The size and

of the huge fins made walking almost impossible, and one emerges from a

awkward land creature into a transformed, graceful sea urchin.

The world underwater is like an intoxicant, equipped with magical

The human being is able to adapt surprisingly well to this physical at

and then visual transformation.

The weather has a both relaxing and invigorating effect on the body.

Very shortly, the technical job of breathing properly was no longer a

and the heaviness of the tank was no longer felt.

Even the nudists had to admit they were not aware of any sort of material goner,

only the feeling of being engulfed by the warmth and the effortlessness of

making one's way through it.

Potential freedom proved immense, and it was quite impressed by the performance

of this nature girl, no longer in June.

The mermaid emerges from the water reluctantly, but just tired enough to

a rest in order to absorb her recent experience.

It's time for a change of fins, and a new nudist goes to the ocean's depths.

the temptation to start picking up corals and sponges from the bottom of

tree to take back to the surface.

Damien warned everyone beforehand, unless one was an expert in

that the delicate, irresistible object so accessible to one's hand might turn

out to be a poison coral or some much primitive one.

Thank you.

Thank you.

The sensual feeling of the water and its warmth had a tendency to make the

swimmers lethargic.

Pretty soon, they were content to simply move about in a kind of underwater

dance.

Sandy had to give this one a sign to go back to the boat, or she probably would

have stayed all day.

Oh well, have to give someone else a turn.

Thank you.

Thank you.

you

Sandy views the ocean with more nostalgia than when he closed his last

show.

When he emerged from the sea, it would be a symbol of the end of the summer,

time to return to the tensions of his life in New York City.

He enjoyed working on this film with these unique, good -natured people

immensely, and he wonders how he can thank them.

Perhaps when the public sees the documentary, they will broaden their

about nudist colonies and the type of people who frequent them.

It was hard to conceive, while immersed in this underwater haven, what the so

-called civilized life was like.

Oh, well, living in the city is the civilized life.

Are we next summer too?

And just what is the civilized life?

Maybe that's something to think about until next summer.
