Great Fun!!, 5 June 2004
10/10
Author: Big Bad John from Sydney, Australia

Along with "The Atomic Cafe", "The Beat Generation: An American Dream" and Ron Mann's "Twist", this would have to be one of my favorite docos about 1950s America. Celebrities talk about their (and general) sex habits in that wonderful era of hope and promise for the future and paranoia for the present. David Byrne, Sandra Bernhard, Josh Mostel, and many others including William Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg are on hand to put in their two-cents worth and provide some pretty raunchy personal information....especially John Mostel's circle jerk story. We also see snippets of Hollywood movies, sex education and behavior films like "Dating Dos and Don'ts" and other stuff. All this and a great rock'n'roll soundtrack makes the 75 minutes roll by much too quickly. Don't miss this one. Released on video by Fox Lorber. Too cool!!
