I hope you haven't actually watched this thing, Shush.

Believe it or not, I have this DVD but havn't seen it in a couple of years.

It's on the same Something Weird Video DVD as THE MONSTER OF CAMP SUNSHINE,
another nudist camp film.

What is the Chaplin connection?!?!?! Let me know where it is at in the film
and I will post a screen cap. :)

The scenario was based on those stories about Chaplin preying on
innocent (?) young
women?

Or is was one of the sources of inspiration for _Verdoux_?

Oh come on... this is the CITIZEN KANE of killer-ape-in-a-nudist-
colony movies!

But if it makes you feel any better, I did fall asleep before the
end.

There's a scene that takes place in the office of the camp's
manager (and evidently it was the actual office of the camp this film
was shot at). There's a close shot of him at his desk, and on the
bookshelf right behind him is a prominently-displayed copy of Theodore
Huff's CHARLIE CHAPLIN.

This film was released in 1965. I wonder if the owner of that
book was interested enough to buy MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY as well?

MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY by Chaplin is also in the nudie film titled CAREER BED.

And it gets burned in "Fahrenheit 451".

While we're on the subject of obscure movies, I see that Mill Creek is
releasing to DVD THE DEVIL'S SLEEP (1949) starring none other than
Lita Grey Chaplin as a judge. It's part of NIGHT SCREAMS 50 MOVIE
PACK, coming out in July. Yes, you have to buy buy the whole pack to
get the one film, but it's dirt cheap.

I should have double-checked first. THE DEVIL'S SLEEP is already out
on DVD from another company, according to Amazon.
