Hypocrites, also known as The Hypocrites and The Naked Truth, is a 1915 silent drama film written and directed by Lois Weber (1879–1939). The film contains several full nude scenes, and is said to include the first appearance of full frontal nudity in a non-pornographic film by an American actress. The film is regarded as anticlerical, and the nudity, after causing trouble with censorship, was deemed justified by its religious context.
