The Naked Ape 1973

Based on Desmond Morris’s popular anthropology book, this partially animated satirical docudrama—produced by Playboy founder Hugh Hefner—traces human evolution and explores why we act the way we do. While it often touches on sexuality, the film remains modest and non‑graphic. It stands as a notable example of early‑70s mainstream experimental cinema and features a young, strikingly beautiful Victoria Principal.
