Synopsis

A young woman holds the pose on a rotating stage for a few seconds. She displays a calm nudity to represent conventional scenes from the Bible: an Eve eating an apple, joined by a handsome Adam. These sequences quickly alternate with mythological themes, such as the athletic The Rape of the Sabine Women, and a cavalier Ariadne who straddles a man on all fours and pulls his hair.
The rhythm is such that the artist must have a real flair for drawing to sketch the poses. Unless these studies of nudes were a pretext to avoid censure! —Europa Film Treasures

The best of these nudie shorts that have been submitted lately. More about form, while the others were of play.
