Two sophisticated women, Patty Duke and Sara Botsford, decide that they want to have a baby, and after trying and failing with adoption and seeing the quality of men inside a sperm bank, they wander all over Vancouver ogling the various men they see on the street, causing accidents in a few cases. They obviously don't want their baby to grow up to be a clod so they decide to find a sperm donor the old-fashioned way, but it doesn't have to be the right man. It also has to be someone who's going to go away after the deed is done, and they plan to have it done the natural way. For this lesbian couple, that leads them to just one person, a photographer at their modeling agency, Saul Rubinek, and they hope for the best.
Canadian actress Botsford is tall and statuesque, nearly a foot above her female partner, the head of the Valley of the Models agency, none other than Neely O'Hara herself, Patty Duke. It's Botsford who intends to have the sperm implanted in her body so it will be her and you must have carnal relations with a man. They are probably the most attractive lesbian couple in film up to this time, both easy-going and not hardcore even though they are admittedly feminist and proud of being successful working women. Rubinek has been dating one of their models, Sonia Zimmer, so it will take some good old-fashioned manipulating to get him in the mood and not feel like he's cheating even though he's a bit of a lout.
This is probably one of the better films I had never heard of and didn't expect much from because it is lighthearted and good-natured and takes away any stereotypes about lesbians. These women enjoy the company of men, and when it comes to the idea of sleeping with one to have a baby, they pretty much have to get drunk to get into the mood. The scene where they travel around Vancouver is one of the funniest scenes in a movie where men in a construction site literally stop drilling when they notice the women staring at them with alluring eyes, and a fast food restaurant clerk makes a fool of himself while trying to clear tables as he notices them staring at him. But the funniest moment is at the sperm bank with who comes out with the sample, and we can see in Duke and Botsford's eyes how repulsed they are. A very funny film with a big heart, and eventually too, as the baby comes to fruition.
