1959. Directed by RUSS MEYER. TAGLINES : 'From Out of the Pages of PLAYBOY MAGAZINE" "A Frenchy Comedy for Unashamed Adults!" - First FEATURE LENGTH film of Russ Meyer's career. A door to door salesman of dentist's appliances encounters beautiful well-endowed nude women everywhere he goes. They, of course, stir his interest. The only sound in the film is the voice of a narrator and a monotonic musical theme. Producer/director Russ Meyer shot the film in four days during the spring of 1958, on a budget of $24,000. The lead actor, Bill Teas, was an old Army buddy of director Russ Meyer from World War II, and Meyer let him use his own name as the character's name. Also known as :" Mr. Tease and His Playthings". BEHIND THE SCENES TRIVIA : June "The Bust" Wilkinson was under contract with Seven Arts at the time. Her photos had just been published in Playboy and the studio wasn't happy about it. Russ Meyer approached her about starring in this film, but Seven Arts said there was no way they would let her be in a "nudie movie." But as a favor to Meyer, Wilkinson shot one nude scene where she's standing at a window. Her breasts are visible, but not her face, so she figured no one would know who she was. But several people figured it out because her huge breasts were very distinctive.
