Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask) (1972): Woody Allen

Written and directed by Woody Allen, Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask) (1972) was very loosely based on parts of the famous book by Dr. David Reuben. Slapstick and hilarious, the film features several different comedic vignettes, with such titles as: Do Aphrodisiacs Work?, What is Sodomy?, Why Do Some Women Have Trouble Reaching Orgasm?, Are Transvestites Homosexuals?, What are Sex Perverts?, Are the Findings of Doctors and Clinics Who Do Sexual Research and Experiments Accurate? and What Happens During Ejaculation?. The cast is great, including Woody Allen, Gene Wilder, Louise Lasser, John Carradine, Tony Randall, Lynn Redgrave, Regis Philbin and Burt Reynolds.
