    This very stylized '70s movie has held up over time (except Ann Margaret's English accent is still dreadful). It's meant to be a morality farce and is quite amusing and worth watching. All the dire warnings about it being an "adult" film are kind of outdated considering that the movie shows breasts, bums and penises very briefly, and for comedic effect.

    Jerry H. Gorgeous costumes scenery and sets. The cinamatography was spectacular. All of the above was wasted on an idiotic farce.

    A poor attempt at a Tom Jones type movie. Ann Margaret's fails to show any ability to act. Nice face, but that's it.
