Garden of Eden

New York: Excelsior Pictures, 1954. Vintage souvenir program for the 1954 nudist film.

A widowed woman leaves the home of her tyrannical father-in-law, accompanied by her young daughter, and moves into a nudist camp in Florida. "Nudist" movies were typically shot at nudist campgrounds in order to skirt laws prohibiting on-screen nudity. "Garden of Eden" was nevertheless the subject of a court case in the late 1950s regarding obscenity. The court ruled that on-screen nudity was not obscene, opening the door to more open depictions of nudity in film.

Shot on location at the Lake Como Family Nudist Resort in Lutz, Florida.
