...KNOW I CAN'T HEAR YOU WHEN THE WATER'S RUNNING is a comedy hit by Robert Anderson (Tea and Sympathy) that deals with a common human preoccupation-sex. In four playlets, Martin Balsam, Eileen Heckart and George Grizzard make faces at sex, shed tears over it, spoof it and sneer at it. The audience, for the most part, just laughs...

And while the dice are in the air, anyone-for one brief Mittyesque moment-can be Bus Mosbacher, sailing out of Newport...
Britt Ekland is a bland Julie Christie. At least Miss Christie is slightly knockneed and her eyes don't water at the sight of a chipmunk. I suppose Miss Ekland--along with automobiles and orgy rooms equipped with Louis Quinze furnishings and electric gimmicks--excites somebody. There on-screen is the fulfillment of somebody's fantasies...
