I See Naked (Italian: Vedo nudo) is a 1969 Italian anthology comedy film directed by Dino Risi. All the episodes have sex as the main theme and all star Nino Manfredi, who plays seven different characters. The film represents the last collaboration between Manfredi and Risi, after Treasure of San Gennaro and Torture Me But Kill Me with Kisses. For this film Manfredi was awarded with a David di Donatello for Best Actor.
Vedo nudo gained a huge commercial success, and was followed by two unofficial sequels, Sessomatto and Sesso e volentieri, both directed by Risi.

Production
The film originally consisted solely of what would become its final segment; Nino Manfredi doubted the story could sustain a feature-length film and involved in the project screenwriter Iaia Fiastri to help develop a solution. She eventually suggested to turn the film into an anthology, providing several episode-based ideas.
Reception
The film was a massive success, grossing over 2 billion lire at the Italian box office.
