Blaze Starr Goes Nudist
Blaze Starr Goes Nudist (also known as Busting Out and Blaze Starr Goes Back to Nature [1]) is a 1962 American nudist film, directed and produced by Doris Wishman.[2] The film stars burlesque queen Blaze Starr and crooner Ralph Young (as "Russ Martine"). It was written by Melvin Stanley. PlotScreen siren Blaze Starr is tired of the rigors of celebrity life. After wandering into a screening of a nudist exploitation film, she travels to Sunny Palms Lodge, a nearby nudist camp, to apply for membership. Blaze enjoys the relaxed atmosphere the camp offers and becomes friends with the camp's director, Andy Simms. Her lack of interest in her professional life quickly becomes apparent to her manager/boyfriend Tony, however, who worries that Blaze will lose her acting contract if the studio finds out she's a nudist. As fate would have it, it turns out the studio head endorses the nudist lifestyle, and Blaze and Andy start a new romance. Cast

Highlights include its soft lounge jazz soundtrack, a pop-art colour palette and outrageous outfits aplenty."[3] References
