Review:
This softcore Scandinavian flick is notable for ushering in a new type of cinematic experience for American audiences, prior to the emergence of the sexploitation industry. It was horribly panned in the New York Times by A.H. Weiler, who wrote:
“Beware. The picture is slow, tedious, casually acted and lackadaisically directed. We simply can’t believe that the realistic, sophisticated Swedes and Danes — it’s a co-production — swallowed this junk as either entertainment or as a sermon on carnality.”
In hindsight, however, it’s pretty innocuous stuff. Persson is well cast as a strong young female who knows what she wants and go for it, and audience members who don’t expect anything other than following her sexual travails probably won’t be disappointed.
