...David Reuben's bestseller is tenuous, and the movie will probably deserve an R rating (for Rabelaisian). In it, Gene Wilder plays a doctor madly in love with a sheep; and Allen plays, among other wonders, a sperm cell, a libidinous fail ure named Victor Shakapopolis, a spider, and a court jester caught by a king in the arms of a queen.

A group of three men and one woman, calling themselves the Sheiks, are putting together a good-time style of light rock, slightly reminiscent of the Mamas and Papas, covering tunes by the Band and Chuck Berry. And when certain folk and blues luminaries are passing through this city, they may make an unscheduled trip to the bandstand at Jack's, as Rosalie Sorrels...
