    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Valerie Perrine became the first woman to display (on purpose) her nipples on American network television during the 4 May 1973 broadcast of this movie on Hollywood Television Theater (PBS). Valerie Perrine was seen taking a shower from the side and her butt was in full view. Only a few PBS stations were adventurous enough to carry the program.
    • Quotes
      • Meredith: How do you think I feel? I just had my first orgasm.
      • Tandy: Just now?
      • Meredith: No, while I was watching the Dick Cavett Show. I was all alone eating some peach yogurt and I got this funny feeling.
    • Alternate versions
      On the Broadway Theatre Archive's DVD, a black bar is imposed over Valerie Perrine's nipples in the head-on showering shot, but the rest of her nude scene is uncensored.
