***SPOLIERS*** The beautiful Gina Lollobrigida as Guillietta, or Julie for short, Cameron is stripped down to her bear bar and panties. That as her shady past is revealed as a high price call-girl at her boyfriend Nick Stratton's, Anthony Franciosa, dad's big time Chicago construction mogul Pete Stratton, Ernest Borgnine, 30th wedding anniversary party. Rick who was to announce his engagement to Julie is dumbstruck by this shocking revelation that's even more shocking to him and his mom Pete's long suffering wife Yvonne, Luana Patten, is that Pete was one of her best customers! Running for her life out of the party before she got lynched by the outraged party goers Julie ends up in a sleazy downtown hotel where her lover, who by then got over the shock, Rick finds her. It's then after Pete was made to drop the charges, in her being a hooker, against Julie by his tearful son Rick that the two lovebirds decided to check out to Mexico and, by getting away from it all, blend into the woodwork. Pete soon realizing that there's no way he can break up the romance between Rick & Julie drops into their hotel in Acapulco unannounced and gives Julie his blessing to marry Rick and be accepted into the Stratton family. But by then the damage was already done with a guilt ridden Julie in knowing all the trouble she caused dropping her idea to marry Rick and going back to her call-girl days. Julie ends up making a complete fool of herself at a local bar by getting gloriously drunk and trying to pick every man there!****SPOILERS*** It's when Rick sees that Julie has gone completely loco, mad, he decides the best thing to do is go back home to Chicago and start a new life working for his father's construction company. The tragic ending has Rick change his mind and decide to take Julie back no matter how crazy she is but by then it's too late. Julie in the end ended it all by taking a swan dive off an 80 foot cliff in the Gulf of Mexico. But as we see as the movie ends the heart-broken Rick is more then forgiving to her for what she did to him as well as the Stratton family.

I saw this movie twenty years ago when my self-esteem was not strong, and when I saw Go Naked into the World....I was devastated when Gina Lollabridga's character committed suicide. I wanted to shout at the television "Just hold on honey, he is coming for you, he is in love with you!" And that taught me that even when your chance at love feels hopelessly doomed, just give it one more day. Then that day will turn into another, and so on. If your heart really wants it, it will be yours. The title was so aptly titled, because all of us at point in our lives, will have to go out into the world - reluctantly, feeling exposed by whatever your tribulation may be. But it gets easier as your "armour" gets stronger. Go ahead, go naked into the world, just never give up.

I liked this film, which struck me as "Camille" in a modern setting with beautiful scenery and wardrobe in color and expressive music in the soundtrack.The main similarity with "Camille" is the theme of "Redemption and Forgiveness" or the lack thereof with tragic results. Like Armand Duval in "Camille," the young man (portrayed by Anthony Franciosa) idealizes the exquisite young woman with whom he has fallen in love. To him, she is beautiful and innocent, and he wants a future with her. Then his father (Ernest Borgnine) reveals the ugly truth, that Giulietta is a high-priced call girl and that he and his middle-aged friends have been her clients.The young man is confused, but he wants to forgive Giulietta for her past and help her make a new start by marrying her. They go away on holiday, but former clients (who are self righteous and who have an unforgiving attitude) come out of the woodwork and refuse to let Giulietta forget her past. As in Camille, the end is tragic, leaving the male characters to consider the parts (good or bad) they played in Giulietta's life.

The only thing I have against this film is that the character played by tony Franciosa is rather helpless for someone who has just spent several years in the army. I would have thought that he would have come out a better man, instead of this mousy character, but there you are.I thought the scene at the top of the skyscraper being built, where Tony Franciosa walks along a girder as though it were a tightrope, to get some money from his father was an incredible piece of acting by Franciosa, Borgnine, and the actors playing the spidermen. To me that was the outstanding scene in the whole film.The rest of the film is a watchable melodrama, although I don't think it will ever be regarded as one of the best films ever made.
