There is only one way tor review this movie, and that is through the lens of 1973. Marketed to teenage boys, this movie was about as daring as could be shown in 1973, and there would have been plenty of places this movie would never be shown. The movie is a fluff piece, with a level of sweetness. The nudity, of which there really is more than I expected, is primarily of the female figure, in keeping with those times. The plot was a staple of movies of that era wanting to push the bounds of nudity in movies. There is comedy, silliness and simply a lot of nonsense. It may have been advertised as X-rated, to draw in young males, but there really was no such rating at the time. The thing to realize is the movie is devoid of nastiness, as everything was done for laughs. The initial shower scene where she is being chased is simply funny, but giving the males in the audience what they wanted. The audience was not looking for great acting skills.
