Distinctive and thoroughly enjoyable cult sex comedy/psycho thriller has Rock Hudson as a progressive high school football coach and guidance counselor who also happens to be bedding the school's female population--teachers and students. He even enlists a substitute to deflower one of her students. But when several girls start showing up dead, Telly Savalas is called in to investigate. An offbeat but weirdly engaging film that would never get made today, this one is more than the sum of it's parts, combining elements of THE GRADUATE and the light touch of a Michael Ritchie social satire with the furiously camp sexiness of Vadim's previous effort BARBARELLA.

Fun flick with Rock Hudson as the skirt chasing teacher who may just be murdering pupils. Angie Dickenson looks stunning in it!

Interesting role for Rock Hudson here playing the guidance counselor that seduces his students. Fun cameos by Angie Dickinson as a sexy, student-seducing substitute and Telly Savalas doing his best Kojak in California. An artifact of the early 70s - this movie would NEVER get made today, especially with the casual way it portrays sexual relationships amongst the students and their teachers.

The funniest fucking movie I've seen in sometime. Rock Hudson is delightfully sleazy here - he's like a deranged Gregory Peck. Angie Dickinson is deliciously hot as well. I can see why Quentin Tarantino's such a big fan of the flick. It'd make a great double bill with John McNaughton's Wild Things.

Don't get the labels on this one. It's barely a comedy and nothing else. Kind of funny role for Hudson, and Roddy McDowell is always a treat, but other than a very pervy camera this kind of sucks. And what a vaste of Margaret Markov!!

Remember the good ol days when high school counselors could rape and murder hot jailbait without consequence? Interesting that while this film is somewhat prescient, it would never be made today.

A strange Hollywood mixture of murder mystery and raunchy coming-of-age comedy featuring a sleazy Rock Hudson and a cougary Angie Dickinson. Screenplay by Gene Roddenberry and directed by Roger "Barbarella" Vadim.

It's okay. Not sure why Quentin Tarantino is so in love with this movie. Rock Hudson sure did rock the moustache though.
