The Adventures of Lucky Pierre


The Adventures of Lucky Pierre is a 1961 nudie cutie film created by exploitation filmmakers Herschell Gordon Lewis and David F. Friedman. The first of its kind to be filmed in color, the film starred comedian Billy Falbo. It was unique for its time and genre, adding successful comedy to the nudity and sensationalist material.

The Adventures of Lucky Pierre is a series of vignettes featuring the title character, Lucky Pierre, in a series of unrelated storylines involving scantlyclad or nude women. Pierre, named after a childhood rhyme Friedman and Lewis remembered, would end up in a short segment where he encounters various naked women for instance, in DriveIn Me Crazy, Pierre attends a drivein movie where the ticket taker and concession workers are all nude women who also appear in the film hes seeing. In another, Pierre, as a painter, has three nude women posing for him in a park, and another vignette had Pierre come upon two sunbathing women while birdwatching.The film was a financial success, grossing over 12,000 in a single theater over a weeks run upon opening, and continued to enjoy financial success while avoiding the type of censorship previous exploitation films such as Mom and Dad faced. The film ushered in a new form of sexploitation film, the nudie cutie, and Friedman, who worked with the American Film Institute to catalog such films for them, estimated over 600 Pierrestyle films were released between 1961 and 1970. ........
