This may sound strange but to me this film is an 80s movie made in the 70s! With the plot you'd swear blind it was made in 1981 instead of 1971! It's a teen sex comedy set in a high school like Porky's and girls who had sex were murdered like they were in the stalk n slasher movies of ten years later.
shareIt’s also a fact that this movie probably couldn’t be made today. Imagine a modern movie that treats sex between teachers and students so casually — or, in the case of young Ponce losing his virginity to the impossibly gorgeous Angie Dickinson, as a GOOD thing? No effin’ way!
All the universe . . . or nothingness. Which shall it be, Passworthy? Which shall it be?
A truly odd little film. Roger Vadim's wet dream. And he appears to have had the sexual maturity of a sixteen year old boy. (Not that I didn't enjoy every cheesy, salacious moment). Surprisingly big budget for this sort of thing..

Vadim married both Bridgette Bardot and Jane Fonda. What part of his real life wasn't a wet dream?
The horndog script was written by that all-american red-blooded pervert Gene Roddenberry. I recall him giving lectures and going on at length about the wild violent sex rites of the Vulcan race and how beautiful sex with robots and androids could be in the future if we only put away our hang-ups and let it happen. Yes, what can you say, some people's ejaculate lands ahead of their time.
The racially diverse school and teen girls dressed like skanks, way ahead of its time.
shareexactly! I graduated hs in 72 and the girls dressed really nice and no way we could have worn our skirts and dresses that short. In my senior year the girls were allowed to wear jeans once a month but our shirts had to be tucked in
shareI was about to make a post inquiring about the dress code, thanks for addressing that catlover11. Yeah, I realize the movie takes place in California where the dress code might be more lax and mini skirts were all the rage in the 60s and early 70s but come on! Even today schools would not permit girls to dress like that. There's a difference for how they may have dressed outside of school and during school hours.
shareThe fashions and free love talk wouldn't have been in a 1981 film.
