Nude on the Moon (1961) review
In Nude on the Moon (1961), Doris Wishman blends nudism with sci-fi whimsy in a tale of moon-dwelling aliens, quirky costumes, and a lovesick astronaut. Brett Marcus Cook’s review dives into the charm and oddities of this cult classic, restored beautifully for modern audiences. While it lacks the energy of Wishman’s earlier films, it remains a delightful watch for those craving vintage escapism.

Special to Planet Nude, this piece highlights how shedding clothing helps participants embrace vulnerability, deepen self-awareness, and dissolve boundaries between body and mind.
