Heidy Lamarr in Ecstasy (ENF)

Ecstasy

The quality is so-so, but this is an old B&W movie with Hedy Lamarr. She is horseback riding and decides to go skinny dipping in a pond. Then her horse runs away with her clothes, she goes chasing after her stuff when she unexpectedly meets a guy walking by... great ENF scene!

Very cool clip! In the old old days, body doubles had not yet been invented. That was Ms Lamarr.

This is a clip from the play "Faust". Camilla Horn(1903-1996) was an actress on stage and in the silent film era. In this clip, she is topless. I am challenged on several fronts these days with computers and WiFi, so I was not able to get a picture together. I believe this clip is from a performance in 1926.

Here is a gem.

A very high quality clip from the 60s of several couples naked in a swimming pool. Another (clothed) couple comes in and the new girl is a bit freaked out by the whole thing. But she gives in, strips and jumps in.

Now, here is the kicker:

The new girl is Cybill Shepherd.

In case you have not seen the movie, it is a party that Cybill has never been to before and the initiation is that you have to strip on the diving board in front of the whole group.

She also gets naked in another scene in the movie, where she wants to lose her virginity.

Does she show more skin in the other scene ?

Later in the movie she is shown topless and nude from behind in a motel sex scene with a young Jeff Bridges.

Pre-Code Hollywood
 
7 Attachment(s)
Haven't posted on here for a while, so I thought I'd upload what I came across a couple of months ago. It's from the vintage era of Hollywood - Pre Hays code - and is of the lovely Maureen O'Sullivan, who was the original Jane in the 1930's Tarzan films. Her most revealing role came in Tarzan and His Mate (1934), where she not only indulges in a spot of naked swimming, but there is also a shot I got from another video of a scene that escaped the censors when her loincloth revealed more of Jane than anyone intended.

Maureen also had a adept way of with dealing with co star Johnny Weissmuller, who also liked to show off more than just his 'physique' to his female co stars. She was approached by a friend who had heard of the rumour and asked "Is it true?" "Oh yes" said Maureen. "What did you do?" asked the friend. "I let him show me", she replied.

I have thanked this, especially because I remember seeing the loincloth scenes on TV (in the early '60s, God help me!) and wondering if there was some way to record and/or freeze frames, but think this clarification is necessary:
" 'Tarzan the Ape Man' was followed up with a sequel, 'Tarzan and His Mate' (1934). And surprisingly, the sequel included an underwater nude scene with Tarzan in a loincloth and Jane completely nude. For a little over two and half minutes, the two stars swim a very artistic choreographed routine underwater. Well, I say two stars. The fact is Maureen O’Sullivan had a body double do the scene for her, a former Olympic Champion — Josephine McKim. Not that O’Sullivan had any qualms about the nude scene. She spent most of the movie scantily clad in a loincloth herself. And, in a 1994 interview with Ron Miller admitted she thought the sexy scenes were 'fun.' In the same interview, O’Sullivan says she refused to do the swimming scene because she’s claustrophobic and couldn’t bear to put her face under water. Alas, most of the American public never saw Jane’s nude scene in 'Tarzan and His Mate' because of the newly formed (June 1934) Production Code Administration (PCA) which required all films to obtain a certificate of approval before being released. When the newly formed PCA began strictly enforcing its tenets, the first major instance of censorship involved removing the nude scene from 'Tarzan and His Mate.' Despite the scene being ordered removed, some US territories without censor boards included the nude swim. Film historian Rudy Behlmer says MGM released three different versions of the scene: one with Jane fully clothed, one topless, and one completely naked. When MGM’s deception was discovered, the PCA ordered the scene to be removed from the film’s negative. Despite this order, the scene survived in the master positive print — giving you the opportunity to view it today. You can thank Ted Turner for restoring the scene after purchasing the library."

"Two Alone" is a 1934 American pre-Code movie with a nice "caught skinny dipping" ENF scene.

Of course you don't see much, but the scene is sexy nonetheless.

Love the scene above, krashcdm. I would love to of known how Hollywood films would of turned out if Will Hays hadn't interfered with the free and uninhibited film making back then with his restrictive Hayes Code. Imagine all the beautiful actresses back then who would of had to of stripped off back then?

Anyway, I have a find of my own that I hope fits here - indeed, this might be the start of a good thread for all pre-Hayes films back then. The film is called Dancing Lady (1933) and involves Joan Crawford among a host of lovely ladies performing a burlesque dance in a 'dubious' theatre before it is raided by the spoilsport police. The reveal is quite erotic, and although you can - just - tell that they are wearing flesh coloured undies, they really do look like they are all wearing thongs! And I also love some of the fun dialogue. When a cop collars Crawford, she asks if she can just put on some clothes. "Nah, we want you just how you are" he says. "Oh, so it's THAT sort of a party!" says Joan. And when the girls are led into the paddy wagon, one quips "Oh goody goody! We're going on a buggy ride!" Just a joy, and such a shame Hollywood nobbled itself with restrictive rules. Thank goodness they'll not go back down that road again (with heavy note of sarcasm).

I also have another clip of Joan from this film, which can be found on my "A Pat of Appreciation" thread here: https://forum.oneclickchicks.com/sho...6&postcount=79

Thanks, I enjoy those pre-code flicks as well. I've been searching for those hard to find movies for a while now, I guess I enjoy the simple scenarios of those early erotic tales, like nude women getting their clothes stolens or being caught skinny dipping.

I'm still looking for Johann Schwarzer's Saturn Films shorts. Here's an example of those early 20th century movies:

"Baden Verboten" ("Bathing Forbidden"), 1907

I'm still looking for "Eine aufregende Jagd" ("An Exciting Hunt"), about a rich girl getting her clothes stolen while skinny dipping. There used to be some parts of it on youtube but it's long gone.

krashcdm 09-27-2020 12:27 PM

Found!
 
Well, user Magos contacted me with a working link for the whole short movie (see quote below). Not only that, but more of Johann Schwarzer's work. I can't thank him enough, I've been looking for a long time.

Thanks, Magos.

I checked out Magos' link to the films you were looking for, and not only did it link me to those films, but a host of classic Pre-Code films that I will be checking out over the Xmas period. Thanks for that, Magos.

As to the film you mentioned, krashcdm, (Eine aufregende Jagd - aka An Exciting Hunt from 1908), I thought I might as well upload the video here so that others can check it out on here. I have included screenshots, and although I did try checking who the actress was in the film, sadly that sort of info is unavailable for these sort of films. The plot (such as it is) involved a lady who becomes overheated, strips off to cool down in the lake, only for her clothes to be stolen and she is then discovered by a chap who chases her through the woods (and a picnic) outraged at her being naked in public. She is saved by a chivalrous gentleman she encounters, who covers her with his coat so she is undetected, and they walk off together. A nice glimpse at very early cinema - and early screen nudity.

Speaking of Johann Schwarzer, krashcdm, here is the other film you were on about, Baden Verboten (aka Bathing Forbidden) from 1907. This is a better quality than the one on You tube, and although only over a minute long, has a lot more nudity in it from three lovely ladies who are caught bathing in a lake and leave nothing to the imagination. Enjoy.

At the Photographers (1907)
 
10 Attachment(s)
As there are a few Johann Schwarzer shorts about, I thought I'd upload what there were here for people to appreciate. Today's one is called At the Photographers from 1907, and the basic plot for this video is a dubious photographer who tries to persuade one woman to pose nude for him, only to be rebuffed and for her to storm off. Nevertheless, he soon gets a 2nd girl, who is persuaded to strip and pose before getting dressed and clearing off. In come some chaps to have a good look at the photos of her she maybe thought would only be seen be private eyes, only for the 1st woman to pop back up and chase them out for their indecent activities. Enjoy.

Female Conscripts (1908)

Another Johann Schwarzer short (I have about 4 left that I'll upload in the coming days), this time in a soldier's conscription office, where the women are inspected for enlistment, and naturally have to strip off and be measured by the officers. Not all the ladies bare their breasts (which is a bit of a swizz if you ask me), but it has it's fun putting the girls through the inspections, and even has one girl refusing to strip before being given a good shouting at before she reluctantly exposes her boobs for the camera. Then the officers have to make their choice before sending the other girls on their way. Anyway, enjoy.

The Abduction of the Slave Women (1907)
 
10 Attachment(s)
One of two videos of some of the last I have of Johann Schwarzer's short films before I post some of the Hollywood Pre-Codes next week. The first tonight is called The Abduction of the Slave Women from 1907 (admittedly the title of this post gives that away), which sees a gypsy girl dance for some Arabs before she is warned to flee because some slave traders are coming. It then cuts to said girl with pals deciding to go for a dip in the lake, having a jolly good time before said slave traders come and cart them off. There's a rather startling end scene where one of the women escapes and jumps in the water, only to be shot at by the slavers. The fact she is flailing about in the water still at the end gives me hope they only winged her, but it's a piece of realism rather out of keeping with the usual jollity in these shorts. The video to follow in the next post involves a slave market, so I thought I'd post both as companion videos for each other. Anyway, enjoy.

Bounci 12-02-2020 06:58 PM

Slave Market (1907)
 
9 Attachment(s)
The second of tonight's Johann Schwarzer's video shorts is Slave Market, again from 1907, where captured women are led to a randy Arab by their capturers and each are stripped and displayed to him so he can get a good looks at the goods of the ladies he has "acquired." As the previous video involved girls being rounded up by slave traders, I thought it only natural that this video should follow - just so you didn't have to wait until tomorrow to find out!

The Fisherman (1907)
 
10 Attachment(s)
Another short from Johann Schwarzer (I only have two left, so will be uploading these in the next couple of days before starting with more 'recent' Pre-Code videos from the 1930's). This is a simple video of two girls who are gathering sticks when one decides to go take a dip in the lake. Her maid undresses her, and even has a paddle of her own by hitching up her skirt (and showing she isn't wearing any knickers!), before they wander off in the lake and a fisherman comes along for a spot of fishing. Only thing is, his hook attaches itself to the servant girl's rear, who then has to be unhooked by the chap and a passing policeman. While she shows her displeasure and the trio depart, it gives the embarrassed young mistress a chance to get out and get dressed again before anyone sees her. Anyway, enjoy.

krashcdm 12-05-2020 05:59 PM

Those are all so great, so many good yet short ENF scenarios. I see our threads have been merged, great... the first post reminds me of one of the greatest ENF scene, Heidy Lamarr in Ecstasy. I think it's one of the first thing I posted on OCC, 14 years ago.

If you have a higher quality version please post it. Thanks!

Yes, I asked for it to be merged with other old videos so they could all be found in one place to be appreciated, as there are so many random videos from the early days of OCC floating about on their own undiscovered (And yes, I've been through them all!). Your Ecstasy video actually heads this thread, but, I shall have a look and see if I can find a better quality Ecstasy to post on here for you.

Meanwhile, in the penultimate video I have of Johann Schwarzer's shorts, this one is called The Power of Hypnosis (1908) and is a curious video. With most hypnosis videos (and there are sadly few on OCC here) you see a young lady being tricked to remove her clothes under hypnosis by an older guy. In this there is the older guy/young woman scenario, but strangely it is HIM that ends up hypnotized by the WOMAN. There she proceeds - with the help of her male cohort - to strip 'naked' (she is wearing a sheer bodysuit that spares none of her blushes) before mocking the hypnotized codger, getting him to hop about before he flops to the floor and she steals his money from his wallet. Then she dresses and wakes him, leading to him telling her of his strange experience. Quite why she stripped off is a mystery to me, but I'm not complaining!

The Vain Housewife (1908)
 
10 Attachment(s)
The last of Johann Schwarzer's shorts, this sees a busy maid, who goes about dusting, then decides to mock her ladyship for her idleness, mimicking her and eventually stripping off and posing like her - even having a feel of her ladyship's boob while she does so. But unbeknownst to her, the master has entered the room at this point, and watches until - in an ENF moment - she looks up and spots him, running off embarrassed. However, the master forces her to come out of hiding, and when she goes to claim her clothes, he takes them from her and refuses to give them back until she gives him a kiss. Only then is she permitted to run off embarrassed, now well and truly humiliated.

As for the next video to follow, that may interest krashcdm somewhat...

Ecstasy (1933)
 
10 Attachment(s)
Now for something more "recent", this is the full version of Hedy Lamarr's nude scene in the film Ecstasy from 1933, which made her a star and caused huge controversy around the world. It was rumoured that Hedy herself didn't know she would have to appear nude, and was only reassured by the director, who told her they would film from afar, only to use zoom lens to catch her out. However, this is disputed by the fact that both Lupita Tovar and Adina Mandlova were approached for the role before Hedy, and both were told they would have to appear nude if they were cast, only for their boyfriends to veto it. It is more likely that once Hedy saw the final cut she realized just how much people were going to see of her and freaked out. Despite the fame (or notoriety) it gave her, Hollywood refused to touch her, while Hedy entered a ill fated marriage to a control freak who tried to buy up all the copies of the film. It was only when she fled the marriage to Britain that she was able to resume her career - 5 years later - and where she was spotted by Louis B Mayer, who cast her in Algiers (1938), and the rest is history.

The scene (or scenes, as there is another controversial scene I've added at the end of the video) involves Hedy going off on her horse and deciding to have a swim in the lake, only for said horse to bolt off after another horse, leaving Hedy to run after it stark naked trying to capture it. However, it runs into a camp of railway workers, and seeing one of them (Aribert Mog) catch hold of it, she panics and hides in the bushes, only for the horse to lead him straight to her, and completing her humiliation at being caught at such a disadvantage by a complete stranger.

The other scene caused an even bigger rumpus, and understandably considering this was the 1930's. In it Hedy and Mog share a bed for the night, and although you only see the upper half of Hedy Lamarr, it is clear Mog is performing oral sex on her, leading her to have an orgasm on screen. There was no dressing up this scene, and the cinema world was shocked by it all. I'm just glad they made the film full stop. After all, how else were we mere mortals ever going to be able to see such a beautiful woman as Hedy Lamarr naked otherwise?

I am a big fan of pre-code films. Especially Joan Blondell and Barbara Stanwyck movies.

krashcdm 12-07-2020 06:29 PM

Thank you **SO** much, Bounci !

Incredible to think such a movie could be made in 1933. The ENF scenario is short but perfect... and also, closer to real life than we think. In fact she agreed to the nude scene in part because the camera crew would be some distance away, but she didn't know that telephoto lenses existed. She was shocked when she saw the movie!

She really has nothing to be ashamed of IMHO, the scene was tasteful, funny and didn't show too much.

Rare interview with her in 1969 where she briefly talks about that:

You are welcome, krashcdm, and thanks for the video link. It's remarkable what films they made back then, and you do wonder how it would of turned out had cinema been allowed to be uninhibited creatively. Have to say the guy interviewing her in the video clip you linked was a bit of a moron, and him and Woody basically behaved like two sniggering schoolboys. She must of wondered what she'd let herself in for going on their show, but what was more remarkable was that she was 56 there and still didn't look older than her 30's!

As for gym, I have a treat for you regarding Joan Blondell and Barbara Stanwyck, as here is a video of the two of them together in a very early film called Night Nurse from 1931. There is no nudity, sadly, but they appear in their underwear a number of times, which incurred the wrath of the censors, who considered it risqué. In this scene I've uploaded for you it that has the two of them sneaking back into their bedroom and getting undressed. Barbara gets pranked by one of the male students, who leaves a skeleton in her bed, and it ends with the two girls getting into bed with each other. Interpret that as you please! The censors certainly did, though I didn't interpret it myself that way.

And I have an extra treat for you regarding Miss Stanwyck in the next post that I think many on here will be surprised about...

Barbara Stanwyck (aka Ruby Stevens)
 
9 Attachment(s)
Before Barbara Stanwyck came into movies in 1927 in Broadway Nights (as a fan dancer), she took on many jobs just to survive, becoming a dancer, performing in cabaret, and even becoming an artist's model. Back then she was known by the sweet name of Ruby Stevens, and for all those jobs it meant she had to perform nude or in scantily clad costumes. As you have already seen Miss Stanwyck in her underwear in the video, I thought you might appreciate seeing the photos she posed for as an artist's model, as I don't think she ever appeared nude on screen, as well as an interview she actually did for a magazine around 1927.

In one snippet about the cabaret shows she does she said "To some girls it is embarrassing to do their turn in scanty wardrobe so close to the spectators. But I am always so interested in my work I never think of that. I am only interested in making the audience happy. There is enough sorrow in the world, and if I make people forget it I really think I am doing something worthwhile. Another thing that makes me indifferent to whatever I may be wearing or not wearing is that before I took up dancing I used to be an artist's model. If a good form is not to be seen, why is it? The perfume of flowers was meant to be smelled, delicious fruits should be eaten, for the same reason a beautiful body was meant to be seen."

Wise words indeed. If only Hollywood censors had heeded that advice.

Night Nurse: Charlotte Merriam (1931)
 
3 Attachment(s)
One more video from Night Nurse (1931) before I go to bed, this is a brief scene during the film when a party is thrown while Barbara Stanwyck's nurse is looking after her child patients. She goes looking for the child's mother (played by Charlotte Merriam), inadvertently bumping into her smooching with another man in the corridor. The reason I decided to upload it is that Merriam's dress is somewhat transparent and it is clear she isn't wearing any underwear under that frock. I've slowed it down at the end for you, but it leaves no doubt as to what Charlotte Merriam's bottom looks like under that dress, whether she realized it or not! Fans of Pre-Code will no doubt enjoy the glimpse. I certainly did!

Thank you so much! I've seen Night Nurse several years ago, and loved that scene with them. Yes, lots ofundressing.

And super thank you for the nudes of Barbara Stanwyck! I had no idea there were any! If you've seen Ball of Fire you know she has great legs.

Yes, I've seen Ball of Fire. It's a great film and earned Barbara one of 4 Oscar nominations (although she never won). Obviously she wasn't able to display her technique of "Yum Yum" on them to influence the decision. As for super legs, judging by those nudes she had a super figure all over!

And for an extra treat for you, I've come across a film of Joan Blondell that reveals far more than what was doubtless originally intended. It's an obscure film called Smarty (1934), and rather masochistic in it's theme of a flighty woman (Blondell) who divorces her husband (Warren William) and marries her divorce lawyer (Edward Everett Horton), while sexually teasing her ex and new hubby. The jist is that Joan wants to provoke a rise in her ex, who she considers weak, and wants him to assert himself with her and discipline her, including slapping her!

Somewhat dubious, but even more amazing is the revealing clothing and nip slips that seems to of passed the censors by! The two scenes bookend the film with the first, opening scene showing the couple dressing for dinner and William asking Joan to help him with his cufflinks (no, that isn't a youtherism). Joan is only dressed in a skimpy negligee and as her hubby passes by, her loose top falls open and you see not one boob but two within a few seconds! I have used slow mo for these scenes, as there is another moment while she is at the table with her loose fitting negligee. But the 2nd scene at the end of the film shows Joan Blondell undressing and her negligee is so transparent you can clearly see Joan Blondell's bottom! The video ends with her hubby showing the sort of assertive 'discipline' that Blondell's character asked of him, tearing off part of her dress and slapping her. Although it is somewhat startling, there is no doubt that Joan actually wants it. "Show me, dear," she tells him. Whatever your views on the film's message, you certainly get to see a lot more of Joan that I expected!

Gold Diggers of 1933 Shower Scene

As it's getting towards Christmas (not that it feels like it here), I thought I'd post a scene from one of the best Pre-Code musicals of the 1930's, Gold Diggers of 1933. There were many musicals during the era of the Depression that came out to cheer people up during hard times (something today's cinema seems to of forgotten), but this one musical is remarkable in the fact that it is able to combine both escapism and reflect the real hardship of the times, and it's musical finale "The Forgotten Man" packs a real punch that is still potent today. If you can, check out the full movie at ok.ru, but the song itself can also be found on that You tubey thing, sung by Etta Moten and Joan Blondell (yes, her again).

Anyway, onto this scene and it is from the musical number Pettin' in the Park, which involved Dick Powell and Ruby Keeler, and is as suggestive as the title implies. It also involves a bevy of dancing girls who get caught in a rainstorm in the park, so naturally have to go inside and get out of those wet clothes. The only thing preventing the audience from seeing full nudity on the screen is a transparent curtain that the girls pull down, but even then you can clearly see boobs and bums through it, and I've naturally used slo-mo for those moments. I've had to edit out a couple of parts which involve a young Billy Barty as a kid sneaking out and pulling up the curtain again, just to comply with OCC rules, but hopefully it won't spoil your enjoyment of this scene, which was composed by Busby Berkley in one of his many famous numbers. Enjoy.

I love the story about David Niven in Word War II. Having been a junior officer in the pre-war British Army, rather than stay safe in the USA where doors to success were beginning to open for him, he re-joined the Queen's forces (Royal Marine commandos I think) when WWII broke out.

Late in WWII, his unit were tasked with attacking a well defended enemy position. Well liked by his troops, Niven was very conscious of the challenge to life & limb that the assignment could present, Niven apparently tried to sell the plan to his subordinates only to be confronted with reluctance on their part.

His response (recounted by one of the men rather than Niven who preferred not to speak about his part in the war) showed the kind of officer, leader and man Niven was,. was along the lines of :-

"lads, the job needs to be done and it's our responsibility to carry it out. All in all I'd prefer yo be back in Hollywood tickling Ginger Rogers' tits, but I'm not and there you have it"

While that story is not told in either of Niven's auto biographies, for anyone who is a Niven fan or even remotely interested in the behind the scenes side of Hollywood you never heard about in those days, his books are a very good read and I wholeheartedly recommend them to you.

Flying Down To Rio (1933)

Hadn't heard about the David Niven story, arnoldziffel, but had read a couple of his autobiographies, and yes they are good, as well as amusing. He was a thoroughly decent bloke too. I did know that Ginger Rogers was in Gold Diggers of 1933, as she is the first face you see in the "We're in the Money" number right at the start of the film. I did have that sequence, but didn't include it as it didn't have much revealing flesh in the number. Maybe I should of done just to show off that musical number, as Ginger is a knockout in it.

As it is, Ginger does appear in this next video in what was the first film she and Fred Astaire did together, Flying Down to Rio (1933). They were only support cast in the film, but their dance of the Carioca in the film shot both to stardom and in numerous films together. It also features a famous sequence towards the end of the film where several dancers perform on top of aeroplanes, which surprisingly enough was not choreographed by Busby Berkley, and culminates in some of the girls having their clothes ripped off by the breeze leaving them in the altogether. I have naturally done that in slo mo for you, but this time I've put it at the end of the video, as I've discovered that the music cuts out when I add slo mo in the middle of a video. It also becomes apparent that the girls' tops are somewhat see through when the wind blows, which proves an added bonus to an already memorable sequence. Anyway, enjoy, and if you can't get into the Xmas feeling, try watching some of these dance numbers and just wallow in them.

I've read both Niven's books, he was quite a randy fellow.

Ginger's best dress was in Swing Time with her nips clearly poking through the dress.
