Fun Facts of Movie

Heritage Videos sought someone to play the  “nude leading lady” role, but they but couldn’t find any actresses willing to act nude. They turned to actual nudists, but found none that were up to the acting role. Finally they then put an ad in a paper; and Gail Ward, an aspiring new actress, inquired about the role and cast.

Reportedly Gail Ward became a nudist as a result of the role.

The film original movie cut ran for a little over 2 hours. Only the shorter cut is commonly available today.  The scenes that we cut include one showing Julie arguing with the tutor Baldy about being tricked into the assignment.  Another cut scene had Julie and her boyfriend Steve sharing photos with Tony from their local nudist club of their holiday in America.

    The 1984 movie Educating Julie tells the story of a university student given the assignment to write a paper on nudity in the 80s. It follows the experience of Julie and her reluctant boyfriend Steve as they explore the clothes free lifestyle. The movie holds together quite well as we observe Julie’s struggle with her body image as well as how to get the information she needs for her assignment. After an initial visit to a nudist camp Julie and Steve divide the research with Steve taking the seamy strip club side of things and Julie focusing on her growing interest in naturism.

    In the process Julie and her boy friend go through several ups and downs and learn about themselves, each other and their relationship. There are humorous moments, straight out funny ones and even more serious scenes. One particular serious scene involves harassment of Julie by some young men a the local pub. The connection they make between nudity and sex accurately expresses the common social misconception.

    I bought this on VHS tape when it came out. The acting is pretty ropey, it’s well directed and moves along at a decent pace. Probably seems a bit outdated for todays audience but overall a good watch.
