I am hearing about this movie as if none of you was alive in 69, that was the end of the hippie era, this movie would have been real risque in Canada or England, but kids in the states were catching the tail end of the "free love" generation. I was seventeen. Back then safe sex was keeping both of the back car doors closed. We didn't have aids, climidia, or any of the rest of the crap that people seem to find so easily now. We smoked pot openly because most of the police hadn't really figured it out yet. We sat around in parks getting high, or those of us who went to school were getting laid or partying a little at night. It was about what college is like now. This movie is really mild by comparison. I still say any young guy would love to have an older experienced woman, a real woman who was attractive, not some cute airhead bubble gummer. Most women didn't even know what an orgasm was in those days. Women's Lib was just being thought of, the biggest pornographer was Playboy magazine and you could buy LSD for about 8 dollars for enough to get four people high. In San Francisco and Berkley, there were chemists like Osley who made acid that became famous all over. Names like Orange Sunshine, Purple Microdot, blotter peace symbol acid came in a of thin paper that had peace sybols on it. Each one of them looked kind of faded because that is where the acid was dripped. We looked more like the people in the movie "Hair" panhandled in the park, and made love to anyone who was there. Women were everywhere and loved every minute of it. So, for 1969 this movie was a European version of what some people's opinion of the U.S. was like.
