Alleged sex spoof that packs little to arouse. Jane Fonda plays a futuristic nymphet who does battle with the evil Duran-Duran. The only reason to applaud this film comes from the embarrassment it caused the self-righteous actress. One of the ugliest designed movies of the 1960’s; the sets and costumes stink worse than the dialog. The 3 Stooges in Outer Space had better art direction. Hopefully this will do for you what it did for me and you’ll write off the career of Roger Vadim
. As a movie, it had a great poster.
