In an attempt to capitalize on the still-controversial Kinsey Institute reports on human sexuality, 3-D enthusiast Arch (The Twonky) Oboler wrote and directed this 2-D, black & white "sex education" feature from 1961. Purportedly based on Oboler's own stage play "Mrs. Kingsley's Report," it consisted of five segments, each devoted to a specific aspect of adult sexual life. Aged Hollywood star Leo G. Carroll (Tarantula) headlines as Professor Logan, who leads a symposium of experts on sexuality as a framework for the five case histories. The cast also featured classy Hildy Brooks from John Frankenheimer's The Iceman Cometh, William Traylor (The Legend Of Hillbilly John), Kate Reid from The Sidelong Glances Of A Pigeon Kicker, June Duprez (The Brighton Strangler), Ernest (Hercules In New York) Graves, and others better known for guest roles on television. Filmed in various locations throughout Ontario, including Toronto's Royal Ontario Museum, and not to be confused with the Jean-Luc Godard film of the same title. Despite the 114 minute running time cited elsewhere (including its pressbook), the theatrical release was 81 minutes.
