Released in 1961, Naked as Nature Intended created a sensation. Queues formed around the block and police were called in to manage the crowds. It stayed on the big screen for over 17 months. The film was directed by the notorious George Harrison Marks and starred Pamela Green, Britain's answer to Bettie Page. Pamela Green was best-known for her short but striking role in Michael Powell's Peeping Tom.

The plot involves Pamela Green and a few other young women taking a holiday. Their destination? A nudist camp. Perfectly legal but totally scandalous at the time. Naked as Nature Intended represents a milestone in movies. Made for little money, the film earned its production costs back many times over. It ushered in a new era of cinematic "exploitation", driven by simple economics. Naked as Nature Intended takes its place in history as the bridge between the puritanical Fifties and the Swinging Sixties.

After the war he joined the London news agency as a staff photographer, eventually moving on to work in the film industry. As the British film industry contracted, he opened a studio in Greek Street in the heart of London's Soho, specialising in theatrical and film portraits. He met Pamela Green when she walked into this studio one day and asked if he took nude shots. As a freelancer, Webb worked on numerous British TV shows and films from The Sweeney to Casino Royale.Green, Pamela: - "Pamela Green (1929 - 2010) was a popular model of the 1950s. She was photographed by such photographers as Bill Brandt, Zoltán Glass and Angus McBean. In 1955 she set up Kamera Publications with her then partner George Harrison Marks. She appeared in the cult films Naked as Nature Intended (1961) and Peeping Tom (1960), a psychological thriller directed by the celebrated Michael Powell. Her third partner was Douglas Webb, a former war hero of the Dambusters raid."
