...film has almost no verbal humor. A Frenchman shouts insults at the knights, but he's nothing compared to the man in "The Argument Clinic," and the soundtrack compounds the problem by being substandard.

...apple fall on Sir Isaac Newton's head: a ho-hum incident at the time but noteworthy in hindsight. As a sex book without a single sex scene, it is a tame reminder of how things have changed since 1961.
