RIP Doris Wishman

Cult "nudie" moviemaker Dorish Wishman died at the age of 90.

Wishman abandoned her dream of becoming a Hollywood actress to make movies. Her first film, Hideout in the Sun, was shot in 1960 in South Dade County around the old Miami Serpentarium. Wishman, who admitted she didn't like many of her films, was one of the pioneers of "nudies." The genre was born from a New York court ruling that permitted naked characters in films if they were in a nudist camp. What sets her nudies apart? They feature a plot to go along with the flesh — Hideout in the Sun is about bank robbers who take a pretty girl hostage.
