A random, wild ride with a message-if you can see past all the naked bodies

I recently watched Hideout in the Sun (1960), a quirky little film about two bank robbers who take a young woman hostage while looking for a place to hide. She mentions a cottage she's staying at, which seems perfect-until they arrive and discover it's located in a nudist colony. Needless to say, that throws a major wrench in their plans.The picture is co-directed by Larry Wolk (Nature's Sweethearts) and Doris Wishman (Nude on the Moon), and stars Greg Conrad, Dolores Carlos (Diary of a Nudist), Earl Bauer, and Carol Little.This is one of those movies full of random circumstances, bizarre sequences, and even an unexpected love story. There's definitely a message baked in about nudism as a lifestyle and worldview. The plot itself is absolutely wild. The bodies are impressive, and there's plenty of nudity throughout-but the way they occasionally try to hide the private parts is unintentionally hilarious. You can see how hard they're trying. The background music during these scenes adds to the amusement and keeps things light.In conclusion, Hideout in the Sun is a random, wild ride with a message-if you can see past all the naked bodies. I'd score it a 5/10.

More plot than you might expect

One of the oddest sub-genres of cinema is the craze for nudist camp films that occurred in the early 1960s. Taking advantage of relaxed censorship laws, these were often free of plot or constrait, appealing more like tourist documentaries than actual films. HIDEOUT IN THE SUN, by the notorious Doris Wishman, at least has the semblance of a plot in the tale of a couple of bank robbers who take a girl hostage before hiding out at her preferred resort. Of course, it's little more than an excuse for endless nudity, but the touches of plotting, such as a rather effective romantic sub-plot, work fairly well.

One of the Better Nudist Movies

Hideout in the Sun (1960) ** 1/2 (out of 4) The psychotic Duke and his brother Martin rob a bank but their getaway car doesn't start so they must take Dorothy hostage. The brothers agree that it's best to hide out with the victim but what they don't realize is that she lives at a nudist colony. Once there, Martin and Dorothy begin to spend sometime together and soon they fall in love.HIDEOUT IN THE SUN was lost for many decades until a print turned up. Today the film, co-directed by Larry Wolk, is best remembered for being the directorial debut of Doris Wishman. Of course, Wishman would go onto make many "nudist" movies but this here is certainly the best of the lot and I'd strongly argue that this here might be the best nudist movie I've seen. Obviously, it's still not a grade "A" thriller nor is it going to be mistaken for the work of Ingmar Bergman but those who enjoy these types of movies should get a kick out of it.If you've seen any of the nudist movies of the 50s and 60s then you already know that they feature very thin plots that only give the viewer a reason to get into the colony where of course there's all sorts of nudity. The film manages to be quite entertaining not only because of the nudity but the story that is here is actually pretty good. I thought the opening heist sequence was fairly well-shot and there's no doubt that the two brothers are interesting to say the least. Heck, I thought the love story worked a lot better than you'd normally expect. With the story working good enough the nudity was just an added bonus.When this movie was released it was obviously the nudity male viewers were coming for. These scenes, for the most part, are well done and at least most of the people taking their clothes off are attractive. HIDEOUT IN THE SUN isn't a masterpiece but it does manage to be one of the best nudist films out there.
