Nudism in 1938

I love vintage movies, but I'm not really a fan of the "old-timey" sounding announcer's voice. I guess adding drama to readings was the norm back then.

This movie is something I found on the internet. I don't like that it's so derogatory to large-sized women. The announcer pokes what he (they?) thought was funny back then. It's not funny now. I love that people come in all sizes!

It's interesting to hear the "public" descriptions of nudists in 1938. The movie both makes fun of nudists and applauds them at the same time.

It's fun to watch for the sake of history. How far we've come, and yet--so far to go!
