Michael Winner liked to boast that the film's budget was recouped in two weeks. [3]
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "This painfully amateurish nudist film carries the usual promotional arguments, with happy, healthy naturists, crabbed opponents, and the sort of nudist goings-on which wouldn't bring a blush to a church outing." [4]
Kine Weekly wrote: "Titillating, yet innocuous British gimick offering. ... The production visits several established nudist camps and its artless tale of victory over prejudice blithely bounces from one amply uphostered posterior to another until it arrives at its conventional happy ending. Thalia Vickers and Mark Rolland act adequately as Jill and Roger, Douglas Muir "hams" effectively as Colonel Willoughby-Muir, and Julie Wilson, the well-known naturist, appears. The rest strip reasonably well. A clean romp in the "altogether", it's currently turned the Cinephone, Oxford Street, into the commercial travellers' Mecca." [5]
Naturism is a lifestyle of practicing non-sexual social nudity in private and in public; the word also refers to the cultural movement which advocates and defends that lifestyle. Both may alternatively be called nudism. Though the two terms are broadly interchangeable, nudism emphasizes the practice of nudity, whilst naturism highlights an attitude favoring harmony with nature and respect for the environment, into which that practice is integrated. That said, naturists come from a range of philosophical and cultural backgrounds; there is no single naturist ideology.
