George Cukor directed this sanitized version of
Irving Wallace's tawdry best-seller concerning a survey of the sexual habits of American women. Psychologist George C. Chapman (
Andrew Duggan) arrives in a Los Angeles suburb with his assistant Paul Radford (Efrem Zimbalist Jr.) in tow. They are looking for volunteers for their sex survey, and four women raise their hands: Sarah Garnell (
Shelley Winters) is a middle-aged woman who is having an affair with young theater director Fred Linden (
Ray Danton); Teresa Harnish (
Glynis Johns) is a happily married woman who becomes attracted to brawny football player Ed Kraski (
Ty Hardin); Naomi Shields (
Claire Bloom) is an alcoholic nymphomaniac who takes up with an unsavory jazz musician; and Kathleen Barclay (
Jane Fonda) is a young widow who thinks she is frigid -- that is, until Radford makes her his personal project. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide
