Directed by Roger Vadim. Starring Jane Fonda, John Phillip Law, Anita Pallenberg, and Milo O'Shea.
I really didn't know what to expect from this, but on my journey to watch 100 movies from 1968, this one just kept popping up on lists, so I thought, "Fine, fine, I'll just watch it." And it was dumb and cheesy and really was only there for the sexcapades, but every so often an intentional joke would land, and that was fun. Not much else to say about this one. Oh, but it was cool to find out Duran Duran got their band name from this movie.
