1963: Weegee’s Bare… Ladies and Dr. Strangelove…

Weegee as judge in a nude beauty contest… in My Bare Lady (1963) directed by Arthur Knight. Filmed in the United Kingdom… My Bare Lady was probably filmed at around the same time that Dr. Strangelove was filmed (perhaps after)… It’s fun to imagine Weegee yo-yoing between the sets of Dr. Strangelove and My Bare Lady…

-Judge: “This is the first time I’ve ever judged a beauty contest.”
-Weegee: “Oh, don’t worry about it. Men are always judging women anyway. So, this should be right up your alley…”

My Bare Lady is available here. It might be the best $10 you’ve ever spent… no, the second best $10 you’ve ever spent, after Shangri-La (1961)… no, the third best $10 you’ve ever spent, after The Imp-Probable Mr. Weegee (1966)…
