Many years ago, I purchased a public domain copy on VHS. The print was muddy and splicey, but offered a fascinating insight into the very early days of nudist films. When the BluRay came out, I was amazed by the print quality...very pleased. It's an interesting film and offers a storyline instead of the usual fluff.
Nice, Brett! You made a great case for Unashamed's transcending it's exploitive beginnings. I'm going to see what I can find out about Allen Stuart, William Lively, and P.C. Prescott-Richardson.
I believe the film is Stuart's only directorial credit, but I'm not sure about the writers. I think one of them may have gone on to do some early noir stuff, if I recall from the commentary. Anything you find out would be great to hear!

I took it as far as I was willing. All three have imdb listings, leading with Unashamed. Lively seems to have been most active, with credits for three Republic serials, not exactly a life's work. Lively was born in 1907 and died in 1973. That's it and that's all. Once again, thanks!
That was truly interesting!! We may have to look into the disc. THX for sharing.
