ELYSIA, VALLEY OF THE NUDE (1934) Avi (Xvid) digitally mastered from VHS source and ripped from DVD-R at 1800 kbs 640 x 480 Audio - AC3 (Dolby Digital) Starring Hobart Glassey, founder of the nudist camp Elysia in California, and lovely Constance Allen as "Miss Kent" Directed by Brian Foy Produced by Brian Foy and Hobart Glassey A "documentary" designed to promote the healthful and spiritually beneficial effects of bathing the body in sunlight and air. Kind of an early example of an "infomercial" except audiences had to buy tickets to see it. Black and white, 46 minutes
Elysia turned up about the time I posted the documentary on Jayne Mansfield and mentioned Doris Wishman. I did not know if it was coincidence but the theme is identical to one of Wishman's films made in the late 50's (IIRC) called "Diary of a Nudist" in which a reporter is sent to investigate a nudist camp..
Other Doris Wishman titles from this period are "Nude On The Moon" which I found in a science fiction collection at Demonoid and "Hideout In The Sun": a caper plot line in which a mildly bad guy hides out in a nudist camp.
What is interesting about this to me is that films like the Wishman ones show certificates as ok to show in public theaters without the onus of being shown only in sex districts and the like.
The production is by Something Weird Video. One of these specialty video houses has some other Doris Wishman shows-- one of which has not been torrented.
