But Russ Meyer's <i>The Immoral Mr. Teas</i> is unquestionably one of those movies. It revolutionized, for better or worse, the adult film industry. Before <i>The Immoral Mr. Teas</i>, exploitation filmmakers delivered nudity either by wrapping their productions in feigned morality (as in the drug scare movies of the '30s) or by adopting a faux documentary format (as in nudist films). <i>The Immoral Mr. Teas</i> helped changed that environment. It completely rejected moralizing and it didn't pretend to depict nudity as a lifestyle. <i>The Immoral Mr. Teas</i> was quite simply about ogling naked women. The era of the nudie-cuties was born. <p><a href="default-nf.htm">Go to the review</a></font> </body>
