Leofwine_draca Review of Garden of Eden

Garden of Eden (1954)

Even by the low standards of this sub-genre, this film's a dud

[2/10 · 16 June 2017]

GARDEN OF EDEN is one of those obscure exploitation movies partially filmed at a real-life nudist camp and revelling in the fact. It plays out as a completely predictable family drama in which the prim and proper upbringing of the main characters is shaken up by the usual nudist camp visit, complete with volleyball games and the like. It's a dull little thing, near plot less, without much in the way of actual nudity, loaded with wooden acting from the non-performers, although some amusement is raised by the presence of future Hollywood actor R.G. Armstrong in a supporting role.
