Synopsis Mr. Teas is a door to door salesman for dentists' appliances. Everywhere he goes he encounters beautiful "well-developed" nude women, which of course stir his interest. The only sound in the film is the voice of a narrator and a very monotonic musical theme played on the clarinet or some similar instrument. Review In the 1950s, when male moviegoers desired a dose of female nudity, they frequently turned to nudist camp movies--an "adults-only" genre that presented nudists as a wholesome, happy volleyball loving lot. Due to the loosened obscenity regulations of the '50s, these movies (with titles such as Diary of a Nudist and As Nature Intended) slipped past censors and into theaters across the country. To prospective filmmakers such as a young Russ Meyer, nudist camp movies were a disappointment. Meyer was a skilled photographer whose work had appeared in Playboy. He was accustomed to photographing beautiful women, but the women that appeared in nudist movies were ordinary. So in 1959, Meyer scrapped together enough money to make a movie of his own, a movie that would focus upon beautiful amply-endowed women in various stages of undress. That movie, The Immoral Mr. Teas, made no pretense of presenting nudity as a lifestyle option, as did the nudist camp movies. It was simply about ogling naked female bodies. Because of movies such as The Immoral Mr. Teas, the era of the nudie-cuties was born. These movies were part comedies and part cheesecake exhibitions. A typical story would focus on a simple working man as he made his daily rounds and encountered a variety of naked and nearly-naked women. No sex, mind you, takes place in these movies. Just lots of wide-eyed gawking.
