The Nudist Story is a 1960 British film set at a nudist colony.[1][2] It was released in the U.S. as Pussycat's Paradise, and is also known as For Members Only.[3]
Plot
Prudish businesswoman Jane Robinson inherits the 'Avonmore Sun Camp' from her eccentric grandfather and decides to sell it so she can pay taxes on the relative's estate. However, some of the members ask her to take a look at the club first. While touring the grounds, she starts to fall in love with the place and also with one of its handsome patrons. Jane soon finds herself embroiled in a hazardous love triangle. A couple of song and dance scenes,[4] the reasonable script and the relatively high production values has ensured the film's reputation as one of the pre-eminent nudist films.
