...magazine cloning of Little Annie Fanny and Mary Marvel. The Texas actress who plays the role, however, seems unaware that she may be joining Wonder Woman in the underground pantheon of liberation. Asked by a girlie magazine why she made the movie, she answered, "Because I'm an exhibitionist . . . and I make good money...
...acting is also topnotch. Robert Redford's McKay is a perfect seemingly sexless but actually hungry, American idealist; MeIvyn Douglas is fine as his corrupt father; Don Porter, veteran of fatherly roles in TV sitcoms, is well-cast as Crocker Jarmon--rhetorically smooth, with the sincerity of a born exhibitionist and a rockribbed physical facade. But Peter Boyle steals the show as Marvin Lucas, McKay's mysterious New York-based campaign manager. Lucas is tough, and smart, and flexible, a Madison Avenue superman; but in his own oily way we feel he cares more seriously than anyone else...

Eventually Bebb's more than comely daughter cures Parr of chastity. Nervously and without clear motives, like...
...most neoromantic concepts, that "person" had no clear form; it was a filmy outline sketched in innumerable entries in a leather-bound book that Ali keeps at her bedside. It is filled with pressed flowers, insightful quotes, like Amedee Ozenfant's "The Romanticist has in him something of the Exhibitionist," and clippings of poems, like Yevtushenko's on the Kennedy assassination: "Loving freedom with bullets, you shoot at yourself, America!" It is also filled with thin-line sketches of astonishing virtuosity, reminiscent, like the artist, of illustrations in Edwardian children's books...
