Was this a controversial movie at the time?

I mean, this covers quite blatantly many aspects of sexuality. Transvestites, bi-sexuality, pre-marital sex, threesomes, etc. Seems a bit edgy for 1972.

I mean, if you consider Three's Company, in which a guy was pretending to be gay was pretty controversial, I have to think about this movie.

it was certainly considered quite risque - it had an X certificate in the UK, which meant nobody under 18 could see it (though my parents smuggled me in, i was sixteen at the time).

You should watch a lot more 70s film, film were more racey back then many today.
