Cast
Reception
Roger Greenspun of The New York Times called most of the film dull "with an air of having been produced only for purposes of demonstration", concluding that "the result is a high-powered sterility in the midst of much energetic busyness." The film was described by Ronald Bergan of The Guardian as "an explosive agitprop movie equating sexual liberation with revolution, whose impact has cooled only marginally."
