Eric E Vinegar Syndrome had a great overstock sale during the recent Labor Day weekend. If you don't know who they are, definitely check out their website. This was one of several items I picked up during that sale. Mostly based upon the intriguing bluray slipcase art. (The movie and it's double-feature counterpart on the disk, HONEYMOON OF TERROR, are both available streaming on Tubi at the moment.) The bluray and streaming versions have very good remastered picture quality, all things considered. There's not too much to the plot here. One blonde female nudist (Sally Parfait) convinces her room mate to give the practice a try and go with her to Camp Sunshine for the weekend. The blonde female's day job is as a tech involved in lab animal testing. She has an accident in the lab and the doctor irresponsibly disposes the waste in a river. Somehow it makes it's way down to the Camp Sunshine simpleton groundskeeper. Antics ensure. The part of the title "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Nature" refers to a bit involving some paramilitary responders who are more akin to Classic Doctor Who's Unit. While this is supposed to allude to Kubrick's 'Dr. Strangelove', it's more similar to Kubrick's first experimental film 'Fear and Desire'. When they incorporated stock WW2 soldier footage, LOL. The movie tends to linger and dodder a bit with wistfully edited long takes, especially during Camp Sunshine frolicking nude scenes. Reminds me ab it of 'The Running Jumping & Standing Still Film', an early Oscar nominated short film by 'A Hard Day's Night' and 'Superman II' director Richard Lester. Funny enough RJ&SSF was co-directed by Peter Sellers for another Strangelove connection. If you can handle a basic 60s Sexploitation film, you can handle this. Otherwise steer clear. Sidenote: The brunette room mate who played a model in the movie (Deborah Spray) was 60s girl-next-door hot. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
