Featured review
This film essentially begins with a young college student by the name of "Colin Slade" (Wes Stern) being told that his scholarship in has been cancelled by the school's new computer. Being quite dismayed by this, Colin immediately goes to see the university president "Maurice Camber" (Larry Hagman) who shows complete indifference to his problem. Needless to say, this depresses Colin to such an extent that--in adherence to the advice of a local college activist group--he decides to commit suicide in a public forum in order to ruin any chance Mr. Camber might have towards winning a coveted political election. However, when that doesn't work, he then decides to seduce Mr. Camber's daughter "Tracy Camber" (Caitlin Adams), his wife "Pat Camber" (Joan Collins) and his mistress "Harlene" (Judy Pace) and then publicize it to further embarrass him even more. What he doesn't count on is just how resilient Mr. Camber actually turns out to be. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was an okay comedy which depended heavily upon the political unrest that was felt and seen during this particular time in American history. To that effect, those viewers who may not have lived during this time may not get some of the satirical humor involved here. Not that it really matters as the humor isn't nearly as sharp as it could have been anyway. Be that as it may, while this clearly wasn't a great comedy by any means, I suppose it had its moments, and I have rated it accordingly. Average.
