IT is hard to say what sort of idiots Ranald MacDougall takes all of us to be, but he certainly insults our intelligence with his new film, "Go Naked in the World. Here is a film that its producer—not the censor, not anybody else; just its producer—should have taken out and burned. In the first place, it insults our intelligence by expecting us to accept its initially all-important premise, which is to the effect that a young, sophisticated Army officer, who not unbelievably boasts that he has "learned to make love in twelve languages," should come home to San Francisco where his father is a rich and powerful man , pick up a flashy woman in a plushy restaurant, go to her apartment and spend the night with her, fall in love with her and never suspect—never even have the slightest glimmer—that she is the fanciest call-girl in town.
