An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 22" x 28") (Learn More) Garden of Eden, the 1954 Max Nosseck Florida nudist camp family relationship melodrama ("Photographed in COLOR at a REAL Nudist Park under the supervision and with the approval of AMERICAN SUNBATHING ASSOCIATION"; "Photographed by Boris Kaufman, Winner of the Academy Award for photography 'On the Waterfront'"; a standard melodrama about a mother leaving her husband and taking her young daughter with her, but they added in the mother visiting a nudist camp!) starring Mickey Knox, Jamie O'Hara (billed as "introducing Jamie O'Hara"), R.G. Armstrong, Karen Sue Trent, and John Gude. Note that nudism had been an American fad in the 1930s, but had greatly diminished by the 1950s. But a clever filmmaker saw this as an opportunity to draw in crowds who would come to see the naked people, and this was one of the first of the "nudies" that became so prevalent in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Also note that when this movie was being filmed, cinematographer Boris Kaufman had only photographed short subjects, and he wanted to shoot features, so he took this job. That same year, he shot the classic "On the Waterfront", which led to a major career in cinematography, but he will always have this early nudie feature on his resume!
