DeCenzie the film that basically launched the lighthearted nudie pictures of the early 1960s. At a time when Hollywood moguls were losing audiences to the comfort of in-home cinema through television Meyer and DeCenzie who spent years on the burlesque and nightclub circuits released an independent naturally sexy endeavor in the tradition of the great Chaplin films.<br /> <br /> For his debut Meyer did even more of the crew work than usual shooting in four days during the spring of 1958 with a budget of $24000 ultimately making over $1.5 million worldwide. The film was marketed as a "Frenchy" "nudist" film but exhibited all the distinctive traits for which Meyer would soon become known including large bosoms insane plots an arguably feminist perspective campy dialogue and guerilla cinematography. <br /> <br /> Shot on location in various California destinations including Malibu Lagoon State Beach.<br /> <br /> One leaf bifold. 11 x 17 inches.
