I first saw this Movie in the early 70`s at the Drive-In. (Yes Kids no straight to Home DVD in those days.) My buddies and I packed into a car to catch this one w/our Teenage hormones going Full tilt for Ewa Aulin`s charms. Orig. released in theaters in `68 we were too young to enter then. I seem to remember it had a `hard` R rating or maybe even an X. Remember..this is 1968! OK..the Movie Review. Fastfoward some 40 odd years Later. An unreal cast that is sometimes `Brilliant`. Stand out`s are Richard Burton-M. Brando-James Coburn and John Astin( very Cool in his `Gomez` Addams Family Character) I don`t know how much ad/lib these actors did off the written script but the results are sometimes very Funny..to say the least! The Drummer from a `popular` singing Band from the time is OK as the Mex. gardener. I think his Pal..Keith Moon would have fit right in this Flick. It is that ...off the wall! Almost a Monty Python forerunner of Satire/Humor to come out Later. Worth Having in your Collection for sure! Richard Burton`s Character alone is worth the price of admission. And let`s not forget...Ewa Aulin. Now available on Home DVD!Read full review
Archaic but slightly engaging sex romp that feels like a series of lusty vignettes lifted from a late 1950's pulp sex novel- which is what author Terry Southern seemed to be emulating in the original source material. Replete with appealing, yet unorthodoxed cameos ranging from the slightly lascivious poet played by Richard Burton to the ostensibly stereotypical and campy portrayal of a lustful minority as rendered by Ringo Starr of the Beatles, the film may be seen as a digestible social zeitgeist of late1960's generational paridigms clashing and coelescing. Overall, interesting without being too offputting or thought provoking. Additionally, the soundtrack is mindblowingly fitting of a tribal vs establishment overview. The music rocks.

This All Star Cast (Ewa Aulin, Marlon Brando, Charles Aznavour, Richard Burton, Ringo Starr, James Coburn, Walter Matthau, John Huston, John Astin, Elsa Martinelli, Anita Pallenberg, ; Directed by: Christian Marquand) type film is truly one of a kind. As of 2007 this 1968 film has become A CLASSIC COLLECTORS ITEM and I purchased the DVD on EBAY for this reason. Rating it is extremely difficult as I can see how many could think it hilarious while others terrible. Suffice it to say, one with "a light and very open sense of humor" will laugh all the way through it enjoying the film as it was intended. It's a close call as to whether Richard Burton or Marlon Brando is the winner of "craziest of the crazy" in this sex spoof.
Good old film with lots of stars playing ridiculous parts. Must see movie.
