It's actually harder than it looks to make a good nudie movie. You'd think you could just throw a bunch of desirable females on screen, have a minimal plot and voila you're done but this is apparently too much for many directors to handle, or rather, not enough. They want to show you how they are the next Mel Brooks/ Tarantino/ whoever else  (depending on the era) THEN they'll show you the gratuitus nudity. So for a variety of reasons the obvious formula is abandoned and this is very terrible for me and you.

Okay skip to here: This is a fun nearly great and definately enjoyable Something Weird adventure. A guy is for some reason not performing very well in the sack. He ends up developing a potion that turns him invisible and this helps him. or something. It doesn't make perfect sense. The writer kind of painted himself into a corner and kind of doesn't care because the point is the nudity. There is a hypnotist too, both of these in pursuit of getting women naked.

The women aren't perfect, the guys wife especially is aaah not spokesmodel material, but they are all pretty sexy. It's in black and white but it's funky and compliments the women. Another great thing about the invisiblity concept is it features the women alone alot, without the shlubby guy (he is also helped by the black and white choice). There are even some decent jokes.  And there is a very decent blonde who is indecent!

4.5/5 a very pleasant surprise

This was on a disk with "The Girl from S.I.N" that I was advised against watching. It looked kind of boring.
