User Reviews

A couple of amusing bits

Basically a compilation of vignettes all satirizing Americas new found sexual revolution. Not all that different from other similar 'underground' films of that period and it should best be viewed as simply a relic of it's era.

Some of the bits could be considered clever, but they fail to build any momentum. This one joke premise loses steam halfway thru eventually making the constantly quirky insights by the constantly quirky characters tiresome and redundant. The sex and nudity, while in abundance, also become a turn off. The majority of the participants, especially those in the nudist colony, are so old and out of shape you really wish they would have just left their clothes on.

Abel himself, as the host and interviewer, actually comes off best. His unblinking deadpan seriousness, even when in the middle of complete perversity, is right on target. It also features a funny interview with transvestite Holly Woodlawn, some spontaneous on the street interviews, and a climatic 'Sex Olympics'. In fact if you get this on video it might be worth it to just fast forward it to this point.
