Nude on the Moon is a 1961 sexploitation film co-written and co-directed by Doris Wishman and Raymond Phelan under the shared pseudonyms “O. O. Miller” and “Anthony Brooks”. The film was produced in 1960 but was not released theatrically until 1961. Doris Wishman went on to become a significant filmmaker and noteworthy director of sexploitation movies. Wishman is also credited as the film’s co-producer.

Music

Nude on the Moon has an interesting musical soundtrack, especially for a relatively low-budget movie. The song “I’m Mooning Over You (My Little Moon Doll)” was sung by Ralph Young who, according to the Something Weird Video DVD release, appeared in Wishman’s film Blaze Starr Goes Nudist under the pseudonym of “Russ Martine”. Young would soon thereafter meet Tony Sandler and form Sandler and Young, a successful easy-listening duo. The lyrics and melody to the song were written by Wishman’s niece, Judith Kushner, who collaborated with Wishman on many later film projects. Future Tonight Show bandleader Doc Severinsen also reportedly arranged the score for the film’s theme song. It has been rumored that Doc Severinsen appears in the film, but he does not.
