Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

kapelusznik18 ****SPOILERS*** In studying the lives of middle to upper class suburban women in L.A. for prominent psychologist Dr. George C. Chapman, Andrew Duggan, his horny assistant Paul Redford, Efrem Zimbelist Jr, got romantically involved with one his subjects the pretty but cool, as an iceberg, to sex Kathleen Barclay, Jane Fonda,that really screwed things up for the serious, in his work, Dr. Chapman. It was the other three subjects in Dr. Chapman's study that resulted into him re-examining his study that most women don't cheat on their husbands. The fact that Kethleen's husband Boy-not the Boy in the Tarzan movies-,John Baer, who was more interested in flying then in getting his rocks off or having sex with her was killed in a crash while flaying a fighter plane that broke up in mid-air which was a major reason her becoming celibate.There's divorcée Naomi Shields, Claire Bloom,who after making it with the water-boy, Chad Everett, delivering Poland Spring Water later hooked up with band leader Wash Dillon,Corey Allen, who in fact was married with children. After she was told by Redford to straighten out her life she got fully involved with Dillon's band of beatniks in a midnight jam and sex session and ended up being gang raped by the band members after getting her drunk on whiskey and vodka and everything else in between. Hurt & humiliated by what happened to her Naomi ended up killing herself with an overdose of sleeping pills before the booze, that helped kill her, wore off. Another victim of Dr. Chapman's meddling in people's lives was actress Tereas Harnish, Gynis Jones, who being being interviewed by one of his aids ended up getting involved with beach boy Ed Karski, Ty Hardin, who while playing touch football on the beach-stripped down to his skimpy shorts-remained her of a Greek God she saw at a local art museum. Eddie who in Teresa encouraging him to have sex with her responded by him man not woman handled her so brutally that she ended up losing all interest in sex with him or any one else. And the last of Dr. Chapman's victims middle-age Sarah Garnell, Shelly Winters, who was cheating behind her husband Frank's, Harold F. Stone, back with her acting coach Fred Linden, Ray Danton, who was also married but estranged from his wife. In that by her getting mixed signals by him in how much in love he was with her ended up leaving Frank and planning to shack up with Danton at a swingers commune. Only to later-in less the an hour-come back crawling on her hands & knees begging Frank for forgiveness and for him to take her back! That's when she found out that lover-boy Linden was planning to drop her for a much younger chick, one of his students, and check out together with her to Mexico City!Not as shocking as it was back in 1962 before the sexual revolution came into full swing and made the actions of those on the screen look like child's play in comparison.In fact the only good results out of this meaningless study by Dr. Chapman was that both Paul Redford and Kathleen Braclay the only two who seemed to be normal ended up getting married and hopefully staying together; Which is more then any of the other persons who were subjected to what turned out to be the very flawed Chapman Report, in reporting that as much as 97% of married couples in the USA didn't cheat on their spouse's, that ended up ruing their marriages and relationships as well as their very lives.

atlasmb "The Chapman Report" starts out with promise but plummets with sickening velocity to a painful finish.Dr. Chapman, renowned compiler of The Chapman Report--a survey of the sexual habits and mores of American women--plans to revolutionize the country by exposing the truths about women. He has an assistant played by Ephraim Zimbalist, Jr. and together they seek women who are willing to reveal their most private thoughts, as they sit behind a screen to protect their anonymity.The film is really about four women, three of whom become subjects for the Chapman men. Otherwise, the report has no bearing on the story.Kathleen (Jane Fonda) is a young widow who fears she is irrevocably sexually frigid. Sarah (Shelly Winters) is having an extra-marital affair because her marriage lacks romance. The kooky Theresa (Glynis Johns) and her husband consider themselves artistic and she is willing to go to great lengths to stretch her artistic "muscles". Naomi (Claire Brown) is a boozy brunette who hates herself for her lack of discipline and her nymphomaniacal ways.We see Fonda emoting with great talent, especially since this is only her third film role. The characters develop, and it seems as if this will be a solid film. But gradually, the wheels fall off. The acting becomes very melodramatic. The characters act in ways not true to their natures. And the number of ways this film speeds past mediocrity into the abyss become too numerous to mention. Most of it is driven by horrible writing. I have never seen a film get progressively worse like this film does.I suppose if you know that upfront, can you just enjoy its cheesiness. And you can try spotting some other talents: Cloris Leachman, for example. And Orison Whipple Hungerford, Jr. (aka Ty Hardin), whose biography in IMDb is more entertaining than this film. The stories end predictably, due in part to Legionnaires disease, which is to say the efforts of the Catholic Legion of Decency. The film has no lessons to impart. Well maybe...no, I can't think of even one.

arsportsltd Daryl Zanuck and his son Richard Zanuck left 20th Century Fox and produced this film at Warner Bros. For the elder Zanuck it was a return to the studio he gained fame under Jack L. Warner.I read that the Zanuck's cast the female leads while the film was in development at 20th Century Fox. Cast are Jane Fonda, Claire Bloom, Glynis Johns, and Shelley Winters the film is an adult expose of the morals of the 4 women the aforementioned stars portray. Lifting the film from the "B" Category is the fact legendary director George Cukor directed this film and Cukor's style and emphasis on Art Direction are obvious. George Cukor cast Warner Bros. stars Ty Hardin, Efrem Zimbalist Jr, and Ray Danton to be the male leads; Chad Everett has a small role. George Cukor is said to have been overwhelmed with Ty Hardin and threw much of the picture to that Warner Bros. star. Of all the players both male and female, it is Mr.Hardin who is presented most scantily clad. For an early 60's film Ty Hardin is showcased in brief bathing suit. Ms. Fonda known for her intelligent performances shines in this film, and I never recalled Glynis Johns-she of the unique voice-to be very attractive but in this film Ms. Johns is drop dead gorgeous. Glynis Johns scenes with Ty Hardin are the best in the film. George Cukor would remain at Warner Bros and direct My Fair Lady and win that long sought Oscar.PS For all of Cukor's direction of Ty Hardin, the Men never worked together after this film.

JasparLamarCrabb Not terrible but pretty close. Sex researchers Andrew Duggan & Efrem Zimbalist Jr. come to town & send the women into a frenzy. Nymphomaniac Claire Bloom has a destructive affair with sleazy musician Corey Allen. Unhappily married Shelley Winters hooks up with local theater director Ray Danton. Beatnik artist Glynis Johns has a decidedly un-erotic run in with pro-football player Ty Hardin. Frigid young widow Jane Fonda ends up with Zimbalist! The acting is very uneven with Bloom coming off best. She's really tragic. Fonda is awful in this early role. Winters is Winters and Johns provides the film's (much needed) comic relief. Directed, blandly, by George Cukor. Featuring a lot of lightweight talent in the supporting roles. In addition to Hardin, there's Chad Everett, Jack Cassidy, and John Dehner. Harold J. Stone plays Winters' husband.
