Just to refresh your memory, this film starred Joe Namath at the very zenith of his popularity. He led the Jets to their remarkable upset of the Colts in January of 1969, and this film came out in 1970.
Let’s just say he was a lot better at football than he was at acting.
Pretty good for 1970, always thought Ann’s first butt shot was Carnal Knowledge
Knew someone from Chicago at work years ago who dated Anne-Margret when she was attending Northwestern.
A 29-year old Ann-Margret and this is all they could do? What a waste of woman.
To make matters worse, critics shit on her for looking bad naked! Gene Siskel said, “Ann-Margret has a brief nude scene in which she proves that in addition to having a foul mouth, she is fat.”
She was putting on weight intentionally for her role in a real movie (Carnal Knowledge), but she looked fine to me. In fact, I thought she was much too slim to play the part in Carnal Knowledge, which made it confusing when another character referred to her as “that tub of lard in there.”
Your comment reminds me of when Dr. Smith was always being called “fat” in Lost in Space. Maybe the word fas had a different meaning on other planets.
If they called Dr. Smith a big fat liar, then yes, the word fat meant something different there. Otherwise, no. IMO, anyway.
Oh the pain. . . the pain.
We can hope that someone has the original film footage and they can come out with a director’s cut with extended scenes. The stuff left on the cutting room floor is usually better than what we see. It would be a shame for the beauty of Ann-Margret in her prime to be lost to history.
Studios were notorious for destroying any outtakes before the 80’s so seems unlikely, especially for a forgotten flop, what WOULD be really cool would those bts nude shots that always wound up in the old Playboy’s annual Sex in Cinema – a lot of times better than the final cut of the movies!
What a waste. A beautiful, sexy woman like Ann-Margret and we get this pathetic excuse for a nude scene? Lame.
Call it the NY Jets of nude scenes. I mean the current Jets, not the Namath, Super Bowl Jets.
