Former child actor turned nudist star



I watched an old British movie produced by the Children's Film Foundation in 1953. Took place mostly in Gibraltar. A Navy cadet who was probably 13 or so uncovers a plot by foreign agents to poison the monkey population there. It wasn't bad, but it was a children's movie.

I looked it up online. The kid who starred, Roy Savage, didn't appear in any other movies until ten years later. When he was in his 20's, he starred in a number of nudist camp movies made in Florida. I watched a 39 minute movie called Naked Complex. An athletic young man with a black belt in Judo has a pathological fear of women. When he wins an auto rally, a woman gives him his award and kisses him and he passes out. He goes to a psychologist for help and he takes him to a club where we see a couple of skimpily clad women dancing.

When news that he fainted earlier hits the newspaper, he flees in shame ends up on an island of naked women who keep tying him up. I didn't follow the plot.

Surprisingly little nudity. There are shots of the naked ladies from the shoulders up. The male lead has a brief butt shot at the end.

Makes me wonder how the poor kid ended up where he did and what became of him after that.

A while back, photos were published of Prince Harry cavorting naked in a hotel room. Apparently he freely commutes between Afghanistan and Las Vegas. A British woman commenting on the Royal Family noted that this was common among Brits who had gone to boarding school. They're used to hanging around naked. So Roy Savage probably was either a nudist or a boarding school alumni.
