So, this film, 'How to Undress in Public Without Undue Embarrassment', is quite the quirky piece from 1965. It’s a rather cheeky exploration of undressing practices through the ages, touching on everything from the overly prim Victorian era to the more liberated vibes of modern strip clubs. The pacing is a bit uneven, and the humor often straddles that line of absurdity which can be a bit hit or miss. But it’s that very eclectic mix of styles and tones that makes it stand out. You’ll find some interesting practical effects and performances that feel both earnest and absurd, really capturing that unique spirit of the time. Definitely a conversation starter in any collection.
This film isn't the easiest to find on physical media, which adds to its allure for collectors. The various formats it has seen, from VHS to DVD releases, have all had limited runs, so it piques interest among those who appreciate obscurities from the 60s. It often flies under the radar, but for those who dig into the more eccentric corners of cinema, it’s a noteworthy piece that reflects cultural attitudes of its time.
