Bunny Yeager's Nude Camera / Nude Las Vegas (Kino Cult #49)

Bunny Yeager began her career as a popular model in the 1950s, but quickly found even greater notoriety as a photographer (most famous for her collaboration with pin-up queen Bettie Page). In 1963, sexploitation filmmaker Barry Mahon documented Yeager’s methods of recruiting and photographing amateur models in two feature films. Bunny Yeager’s Nude Camera showcases Yeager’s pragmatic approach to nude modeling, as she persuades a young newlywed to shed her clothing (and her husband’s objections) for a magazine spread. In Nude Las Vegas, Bunny uses her camera to help big-wigged Peggy Pepper out of a financial jam. Presented in collaboration with Something Weird, Sonney Amusement Enterprises, and the Burlesque Hall of Fame and Museum, this Kino Cult edition of Nude Camera was reconstructed from the first-generation 16mm camera elements and a 35mm release print. Nude Las Vegas was mastered from two 35mm prints.
