Description:
The first documentary to expose the naked truth behind Hollywood’s multi-million dollar cult-industry, Some Nudity Required reveals an industry where 'big breasts remain the cheapest special effects.' Featuring film clips from classics like Naked Obsession and Co-eds on Vacation and rare interviews with the industry’s exploitation vets, including Roger Corman, Director Jim Wynorski, and blood-soaked 'scream-queens' Maria Ford and Julie Strain, the film offers a rare glimpse into the big business of B-movies.
As directed by Odette Springer, a long-time music supervisor for B-movie king Roger Corman, Some Nudity Required also gets to the heart of a widely felt and complex attraction to an exploitive world of filmmaking that specializes in the erotic/slasher/action genre.

Rating: - a meaningful look into a shallow industry
Most telling about this movie is when a director is explaining the nature of women in the Bmovie industry and his Freudian slip is "the women in these breasts" instead of saying, "the women in these films." This movie is a behind the scene look into the Bmovie industry. The narrator is Odette Springer a composer of Bmovie scores. The story focuses on her. She tries to explain how and why she got where she is. The most enjoyable moments, however, is when she spends time interviewing others ... Read More
