The phrase is a rallying cry for preservation. For too long, these films were mocked, neglected, and physically vandalized by censors. They were treated as disposable smut, even when they preached wholesome, healthy living.
The first nudist films were produced in the 1920s and 1930s, primarily in Germany and France. These early films were often documentary-style and showcased nudity in a natural, non-sexualized way. However, with the rise of the Hollywood Production Code in the 1930s, nudity in film became heavily censored, and nudist and naturist lifestyles were largely relegated to the margins of mainstream cinema.
The most important evolution is the rise of new movies made by actual naturists for a naturist audience. These films are “fixed” from conception—they assume the viewer is not a gawker, but a participant.
Every TV version was cropped to 1.33:1, cutting off the famous "mass nude volleyball" scene. Players would serve the ball and disappear off-screen. The fix: The British Film Institute (BFI) released a 1.66:1 scan from the original reversal film. You can now see the entire court. The "fix" also removed a bizarre optical blur that a 1970s distributor added to "tone down" the sunbathing shots. Where to find it: BFI Player (subscription) and the "Naturist Classics Volume 2" Blu-ray.
