A band of hyper-serious, free-loving student anarchists marches into the woods to workshop a manifesto against their hopelessly uptight, stick-in-the-mud campus dean (Riger Gentry). Naturally, this heavy-duty socio-political planning session immediately devolves into a sprawling forest sex-romp. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the dean’s redheaded wife (Luanne Roberts) is quietly leading a sexual revolution of her own, servicing anyone with a pulse, including the family maid. When the student body’s list of demands is inevitably rejected, the campus radicals decide to spike the dean’s punch with a vengeance dose of LSD, kicking off a fisheye-lens finale that defies both logic and good taste.
Clocking in at a brisk, no-nonsense runtime just north of an hour, this movie wastes zero time on boring things like character arcs. The narrative is thinner than rolling paper, swapping out deep socio-political commentary for uninhibited skin-flick energy, though it still finds time for awkward hippie pontificating and a deeply confused opening newsreel.
Directed by Benjamin Onivas, written by L.K. Farbella (Hollywood Babylon), and shot by Henning Schellerup (who would go on to direct Beyond Death’s Door and In Search of Historic Jesus, as well as Three Shades of Flesh and Night Pleasures), it ends with a suicide played for laughs.
Samantha Scott, Cynthia in Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, is in this.
