Quick Answer

What is The Wonderful World of Girls about?

The Wonderful World of Girls is a 1965 American comedy film directed by Peter Perry Jr. about a faithful maintenance man who finds himself in a series of awkward encounters with nude women, much to the dismay of his suspicious wife.

Programmer's Pick

Sammy’s only crime is wielding a mop, but in this breezy slice of 1960s exploitation, that’s enough to land him in a nudist colony. Peter Perry Jr. keeps the action light, the clothes scarce, and Fanny’s patience threadbare.

Overview

In this 1965 American nudie cutie comedy, Sammy is a maintenance man who can't seem to avoid trouble—especially when it comes to the female form. Though he remains loyal to his wife, Fanny, his daily routine is interrupted by a sequence of farcical and compromising run-ins with nude women. Whether it's a movie theater mishap involving a bold exhibitionist or daydreams amid his cleaning duties, Sammy inevitably ends up at the mercy of Fanny's wrath. The couple's misadventures escalate when a routine visit to the doctor goes off the rails, landing them in the office of a nudist colony. It's a breezy, cheeky take on marital suspicion and midcentury American attitudes toward nudity.
