Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Nude on the Moon is a 1961 film directed by Doris Wishman and Raymond Phelan (under the pseudonym "Anthony Brooks").Dr. Jeff Huntley is a scientist who harbors ambitions of flying to the moon, because that's something that scientists can just do on their own. He is so buried in his work that he hasn't even noticed that his curvaceous secretary Cathy is in love with him. When his mentor Professor Nichols points this out, Jeff says that he has no time for romance.He does however have time to fly to the moon, after a rich uncle dies and leaves Jeff $3 million. Jeff apparently can get a lot more out of a dollar than NASA with its billion-dollar budgets and huge Saturn V rockets, because in no time he and Prof. Nichols have built a spacecraft and flown to the moon.Surprisingly, the Moon looks a lot like Earth—specifically, like Coral Castle, a Florida tourist attraction. Even more surprisingly, the Moon is populated by mysterious beings who look just like humans except for the plastic antennae on their heads, and who stroll around the warm, sunny moon wearing nothing but swim trunks or bikini bottoms. Even more surprising than that, the Moon Queen, who communicates with her subjects telepathically, looks just like Cathy.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Second of eight nudism movies made by B-movie director Doris Wishman. While the other nudism films directed by Wishman and others in the era were set in nudist colonies, this film was set on the Moon as a marketing gimmick.

Animated Credits Opening: The opening theme song plays over some low-grade animation of the Moon and space...basically a static picture except for twinkling stars. Then a star swoops in and produces the opening title "Nude on the Moon".

Filming for Easy Dub: A hallmark of Doris Wishman's career, as she never filmed with synchronized sound. The moon people speak telepathically so they don't have to move their lips at all. In a scene near the end where Jeff and Prof. Nichols are speaking in the cockpit, they each old their radio transmitters to their mouths, despite the fact that they are sitting right next to each other in a pressurized cabin.
