A 1970s style romantic comedy. Steve is a philandering American businessman living in London, heavily inclined towards cheating his lovely wife Gloria. He meets divorced British fashion designer Vicki, and soon the two go on a secret holiday together in Spain. They rent a flat for their trysts -- and constant arguments -- in a seedy London building filled with prostitutes. A friend, Walter, tries to give Steve some good advice, but Steve won't listen until it's too late.

Halliwell's Film Guide

Amiable and very physical sex farce with hilarious highlights and a few longueurs between; the playing keeps it above water.

Very good acting

A Customer from Redhill, 4th September, 2009

This was my favourite movie when it appeared - back in 1973!!! I must say, it has unfortunately dated and though still reasonably funny, a lot of the humour just doesn't pass the test of the time, mainly because we have moved away from the traditional roles for men and women and these jokes just aren't very funny anymore. Worth watching, but a bit stuffy.

Dated comedy

David Austin from Essex, England, 4th June, 2009

I vaguely remember seeing this on TV years ago and thought I would check out Glenda Jackson and the movie to see how it looked today. Well, Glenda Jackson is excellent and it was obviously pretty good for its time but society has changed and it now fails to connect to a modern audience. There is a distinctly jarring note when Jackson complains that she has missed her chance to be raped,a common idea then that women wanted to be raped. Its interesting as an historical artifact and for cinema history, but nothing more.
