A Very 70s Concept
"I wish checking my horoscope was always this interesting"
Great Gateway
"A delightful film to share with folks who want to begin to dip their toes into sex films, but aren't quite ready for full tilt boogie yet. Love this release and hope very much it gets a BD upgrade down the line, as the DVD transfer is already excellent despite the limitations."
Sex and Astrology
"Certainly an odd "white-coater" from 1970. It's a part "educational" and "documentary" and part avant-garde film with some sex thrown in. The transfer is great and it's fun to watch. I'm glad I was able to pick this one up before it went out of print."
Zodiacally Dude
"This release has a great looking transfer for an old DVD VS release. And the artwork is vibrant and pops on the shelf. I wish the treatment of the special features was better on this but when the eventual re-release comes I'm sure there will be more included."
Couldn’t Say No
"This cost me only $5. End stop."
