Charles Allen emerged in the 1960s as a notable figure in the world of exploitation cinema, appearing in Nude on the Moon (1961) and Diary of a Nudist (1961). His performances reflect the era's fascination with nudism and the counterculture movement, contributing to the playful yet provocative tone of these films. Allen's roles encapsulate the spirit of the time, where the boundaries of conventional storytelling were pushed, making his work a fitting component of SassyFlix's catalog dedicated to cult and grindhouse cinema.
Diary of a Nudist
Arthur Sherwood (Casserly), editor-in-chief of The Evening Times, stumbles upon a nudist camp and smells a good story. He assigns girl reporter Stacy Taylor (Decker) to join the camp so she can write an exposé on the nudists' indecent lifestyle. Stacy becomes convinced of the sincerity of the nudist philosophy, however, and refuses to write a negative report. Sherwood joins the camp to complete the project, only to decide for himself that nudism is happy and wholesome.
