Summary
This film was one of the earliest nudist documentaries and features footage shot in nudist camps all over the world. Among the places showcased are nudist camps in upstate New York, nudist nightclubs in France and a retreat in Germany that is claimed to be the world's largest nudist camp. Released under several tiles such as "This Nude World," "This Naked World" and "The Nudist World." Vision Pictures, Inc. attempted to distribute the film in New York as "Back to Nature" on a states rights level, appealing a decision by the New York State Censor Board to ban the film. Story writer Jan Gay was billed onscreen as the author of the book "On Going Naked." The book, published in 1932 was one of the first published here – or anywhere in English –about nudism. Gay was born Helen Reitman (1902 –1960) and she declared her sexuality by changing her name to "Jan Gay," using a newly popular 1930's code word for homosexual. She had an eclectic career as a journalist, translator, sexuality researcher, writer (children's books and film documentaries), and passionate promoter of nudism.
