The premise of this picture seems to be that incessant adultery and violence are signs of genius. Basically, this is the kind of thing you get when the old walls of production codes first come crumbling down: crude; exploitative; and something that doesn't age well.

This was actually offensive at times, with sexual double standards and domestic violence being treated as if it were funny. There were some interesting twists in the story, but there were so many stereotypes to put up with, from the "mad doctor" psychiatrist to the unsophisticated yet loyal wife/punching bag. Hard to believe Sean Connery would have been in something of this quality when he was doing so well with the James Bond franchise.

I only rated it this high, because I just love looking at Jean Seberg, she was an angel in human form.
