Quick Answer

What is The Bare Hunt about?

The Bare Hunt is a 1963 American comedy film about a private detective hired to investigate the nudie movie business, leading him to encounter a cast of nude models and actresses while probing a series of unusual deaths.

Programmer's Pick

The Bare Hunt stands as a breezy nudge-and-wink at the detective genre, where the only thing less subtle than the comedy are the wardrobe choices. If you prefer your private eyes bumbling and your suspects barely dressed, this one's for you.

Overview

In this tongue-in-cheek sendup of detective noir, The Bare Hunt throws a hapless private investigator into the middle of the burgeoning 'nudie' movie scene. Hired to look into the industry's behind-the-scenes activities, he stumbles across a colorful array of scantily clad figure models and actresses—including the notorious 'Booby Twins.' With its slapstick approach and camp sensibility, the film lampoons both detective conventions and the exploitative allure of nudie cuties, all while the body count of nude women rises. Expect broad humor, a cavalcade of comical suspects, and a playful ribbing of mid-century American censorship and cinematic taboos.
