Like its promotion, the picture is witless and pointless. Worse, it is also sexless. In the title role of a bored sub urban housewife, Anne Jackson prattles endlessly to the camera about love and commuting, but never manages to make a connection with the audience or her fellow players. As an oversated movie-star seducer, Walter Matthau-unglamorous, unamorous and unfunny -galumphs around with his shirt off, revealing a physique as saggy as the script. A busy actor these days, Matthau also stars in a current box-office hit, The Odd Couple (TIME, May 3). Thus, in a single season...
...decided that Catholics Ruether, Daly and Callahan could profit from reading Of Human Love by Henry Daniel-Rops. As he states, "by nature, from her creation woman is dependent in much the same way as, grammatically, the feminine has affinity for the masculine."

Though the marquees scream about a VOLCANO OF SMOLDERING PASSION!, the view inside is little more than a Playboy peep show, less glossy but just as sexless. Lust is a popeyed man ogling a barmaid's cleavage, virginity a lacquered ex-stripper trying to look like a wide-eyed schoolgirl caught up in the evil ways of the big city. Usually, there are only random glimpses of breasts and bottoms, although lately the nudies have been edging closer to the limits of pornography with a rash of "sadie-massies" that drag in homosexuality, flagellation, voyeurism, lesbianism and assorted orgies...
