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

Director: Woody Allen

Writers: Woody Allen, David Reuben

Starring: Woody Allen, John Carradine, Lou Jacobi, Louise Lasser, Anthony Quale, Tony Randall, Lynn Redgrave, Burt Reynolds, Gene Wilder, Jack Barry, Regis Philbin

More info: IMDb

Tagline: You haven't seen anything until you've seen everything

Plot: Seven segments related to one another only in that they all purport to be based on sections of the book by David Reuben. The segments range from "Do Aphrodisiacs Work?" in which a court jester gives an aphrodisiac to the Queen and is, in the end, beheaded to "What Happens During Ejaculation?" in which we watch "control central" during a successful seduction.



My rating: 7.5/10

Will I watch it again? Yes.

I love that this is an anthology.  The possibilities are endless.  If you don't like one story then wait a few minutes and another will stop by.  Naturally some of these stories are funnier than others but they've all got something to like and laugh at.  For me the highlights would be Gene Wilder's brilliant (as usual) performance as a doctor who falls in love with a sheep, seeing Burt Reynolds, Tony Randall and Woody Allen having fun preparing to do their duty and ejaculate and then there's the brilliantly absurd giant boob on the loose.  That prop is just amazing.  They usual travel in pairs you know...
