At a time when I was first starting to notice girls my parents took me to see a movie with Dean Martin "Texas Across the River". A scene in the movie has a southern belle who is bathin in a small pond. She isn't aware of an indian watching her and who is standing by her clothes. The indian is startled by a cowboy approaching and takes all of the lovely ladies clothes and runs off. I so remember the audiences response, mostly women, of OHHHHh!.
The cowboy shows up at the pond and the southern belle freaks out. She is caught naked but she doesn't know her clothes are gone too. The lady in the pond was so embarrassed. I found it so exciting to see what it might be like to catch a lady naked. Hiding as best she can she convinces the cowboy to turn around while she puts her clothes on. She cautiously swims to where her clothes were. Big scream and you see that she has dove back into the water. She surfaces and very upset says, "My clothes someone has taken them, I can't go back without my clothes".
With great embarrassment she get a thin blanket that doesn't hide much and goes back to camp.
I found this scene and a few like it to be the most exciting for me. There were many like it in the 70's but the B movies went to the more horror side.
Another that is memorable is "A Shot in the Dark" Who can't appreciate Elke Sommer naked in a small car and stuck in a small town traffic jam.
