The Gypsy Moths is a 1969 American drama film, based on the novel of the same name by James Drought and directed by John Frankenheimer. The film tells the story of three barnstorming skydivers and their effect on a Midwestern American town, focusing on the differences in values between the town folk and the hard-living skydivers. The Gypsy Moths starred Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr. The film also features Gene Hackman, (fresh from his role in Bonnie and Clyde) (1967). Kerr had worked previously with Lancaster in From Here to Eternity (1953) and Separate Tables (1958). The film had the only nude love scene in her movie career. Elmer Bernstein composed the score.
