Did you know that Allen Funt became friends with a singing duo named Boyce and Hart. These singers wrote and sang a song "Hey! What do you say to a naked lady?" Allen Funt loved this song so much that he took it one step further and made this movie from their song. Later he even got them an appearance on the TV show "Bewitched" where they sang for a TV audience for the first time. The song writing duo of Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart went on to write hundreds of songs for various performers and wrote many television scores. When this movie came out in 1970 many theaters were closed down for showing "obscene material". This created a backlash so much that people started showing up at the theaters with only a raincoat on or naked with a big purse. The movie is not great for content, but is wonderful for telling us about our history in the 70's.

Just watched a rare showing of this obscure Allen Funt hidden camera movie on fancast.com. It lives up to the title when-in the beginning-a woman casually walks stark naked to an elevator asking for directions from various men walking by. From there, it goes on to frank discussions of sex to people of various ages and genders. There's also some interviews with underage kids who seem to think they know all but don't really. In fact, one of my favorite exchanges was when after Funt asked what a premature baby was, this boy said, "It's one who knows a lot for his age." LOL! I also loved seeing that scene with that red-haired woman when she faked an orgasm after getting spray-painted! And some of the reactions of the preview audience was priceless. So on that note, I highly recommend What Do You Say to a Naked Lady? P.S. Richard "Shaft" Rountree makes his debut here as part of an interracial couple seen kissing in order to get various reactions of people watching them.

This movie remained a hysterical look at sex that i could not help but enjoy. The editors cut the footage perfectly in the "Spray can scene" and made me break out in laughter just watching the difference between the girls' orgasms. Different sequences with different sex related themes made this a documentary great. This docu-comedy is pure genius ***1/2 out of ****

This is one of those films where you come expecting titillation and end up getting educated. As mentioned in the other post, people are set up in situations where they unexpectedly encounter nudity-- elevators, classrooms, roadside, etcetera. Then Funt discovers an interesting thing, that when people ARE expecting nudity, in an art class or museum gallery, when the rules change people get flustered. In the art class, for example, the women who were calmly drawing the male nude seem unable to have a conversation with him when he talks to them.There is an unexpected section of the film, one that Funt admits in the film even surprised him. It is a frank discussion with a call girl, Funt and the woman sitting by a hotel pool talking about prostitution. Funt was posing as a client; the woman is surprising and refreshing in her candor.People may wonder why the film was rated X. At the time the Film Ratings board had a firm rule that if penises were shown, the film was given a X rating.
