Independent home entertainment label Pop Cinema announced today it will release the “lost” Doris Wishman film THE PRINCE AND THE NATURE GIRL to DVD and Digital platforms September 8, 2017.
This release will be the first time the film is available to home entertainment. The release was sourced from a 35mm German-dubbed theatrical print, located by film historian and Wishman biographer Michael Bowen, who has described the film as “pure Wishman” and “a significant title in her overall body of work.” To bring the movie to English language audiences required the creation of a brand-new English dialog track, which Pop Cinema embarked upon after acquiring North American rights.
THE PRINCE AND THE NATURE GIRL synopsis
Trash film-maker extraordinaire Doris Wishman’s final and most sought-after entry in the Nudist Exploitation genre!
An attractive and successful businessman named Prince takes an interest in the blond half of a pair of newly hired identical twins. The girls, Eve and Sue, are polar opposites – Eve, the blonde, is lazy and uninhibited while Sue, the brunette, is hardworking and demure. Captivated by Eve, Prince is over the moon when he runs into her that weekend at his favorite nudist camp. A light flirtation ensues, with neither realizing that stay-at-home Sue is helplessly in love. When Eve leaves to attend a friend’s wedding, Sue embarks upon a deception that will change their lives forever.
This fascinating mash-up of classic fairytale and nudist exploitation genre could only come from the febrile imagination of cult filmmaker Doris Wishman. Sourced from the only known 35mm print, this first-ever DVD transfer includes:
– Brand-new English dialog track, commentary with filmmakers Michael Raso and John Fedele with Doris Wishman biographer Michael Bowen
– Liner notes booklet
– Trailer for Hideout in the Sun, Atomic TV Segment from the 1999 Maryland Film Festival and short films “Nature Girl”, “Nudism: A Way of Life?” and “Rock Lodge”.
