Has its moments but gets repetitious

Originally X rated version of Allen Funt's Candid Camera TV show. This involves people running into naked women (and men) in the most ordinary situations. One involves a totally nude woman trying to get help with her car that broke down. Another has a nude woman in an office building casually waiting for the elevator. Another has a nude statue of a man that starts talking to a secretary at work.

At first this was funny but it gets tiresome. It's basically different variations of the same joke done over and over again. The reactions are hilarious however, the movie has a very light-hearted tone and all the nude people (men and women) are attractive. This was cut down in 1982 to get an R rating and that's the version I saw...but it was long enough. My favorite reactions: a guy looking at a nude woman up and down while waiting for an elevator casually says to her, "Nice outfit"; a secretary while on the phone tells a nude talking male statute near her desk to be quiet! So it is fun but it's just the same thing over and over. I'd love to see the complete X version someday.
