The Immoral Mr. Teas is a 1959 film directed by Russ Meyer.[1] The first of Meyer's three breakthrough films, which created new genres and indirectly influenced the mainstream cinema, The Immoral Mr. Teas was the first "nudie-cutie".[2]
[edit] Contemporary reception
The Immoral Mr. Teas was not well-received by mainstream critics, and had to undergo charges of obscenity. In deeming the film non-pornographic, a Philadelphia judge still pointed out that The Immoral Mr. Teas was "vulgar, pointless, and in bad taste."[3] Charles Stinson, of the Los Angeles Times, wrote that the film "has much the same subtle, urbane wit to be found in any one of our undergraduate humor magazines."[4]
