What CAN you say?

What do you say to the naked truth?

The candid documentary that tells all and shows all!

In This Age Of Enlightenment, You Never Know What's Coming Off Next.


Allen Funt of "Candid Camera" fame films reactions of people who are confronted with a nude female. Elevator passengers in a New York office building get an eye opening look at a naked woman. A lecturer on sex education is also nude, and a group of women are left in a room with a nude male model. An on the street interview asks people to comment on an interracial relationship. The X rating of the film and Jack Valenti's unfavorable reaction to the showing of the feature helped to fuel box office interest. The reactions of the viewers is predictable. ~


What Do You Say to a Naked Lady? is a hidden-camera style reality film released in 1970, and directed by Candid Camera creator Allen Funt. In the film, Funt secretly records people's reactions to unexpected encounters with nudity or sexuality in unusual situations. This was the first of two Candid Camera-style theatrical films to be produced and directed by Funt, the other being Money Talks (1972).
While the film does contain some titillating material and both male and female full frontal nudity, a large amount of the film involves Funt talking to people about sexuality and sexual topics. Whereas Funt's other productions had to fall within Federal Communications Commission guidelines prohibiting nudity and sexual content on the airwaves, film was outside the FCC's jurisdiction and Funt was free to incorporate them into the film.
In the U.S., the film was originally rated X by the Motion Picture Association of America; an edited version was rated R in 1982. When submitted to the British Board of Film Classification in 1970, the film was originally rejected, then rated X; a 1988 video release was rated 18.
The film was released on VHS in the 1980s, with a DVD released on December 6th, 2011.
