Somewhat based on Desmond Morriss fascinating book of pop anthropology this partially animated satirical docudrama produced by Playboy Magazine publisher Hugh Hefner traces the evolution of human kind and offers insight into the reasons why we behave the way we do Though often dealing with sexuality nothing in the film is terribly offensive or graphic A prime example of mainstream experimental filmmaking from the early 70s featuring a young and breathtakingly lovely Victoria Principal
