Rating: - Probably the best teen sexploitation movie of all time
I was allowed into the theater to see this when I was 14, almost 15, and the lady at the ticket booth said, "Hmmmm....OK." My friend was just over 16, I think, so he might have been underage as well. Anyway, I recommend this movie for anyone who likes 1960's period pieces. Love the music, the sunny innocence mixed with naughty naughtiness, the tongue-in-cheek performances, the high school upskirts, Angie Dickinson. Just another movie that makes you wonder why it has not seen the digital light of day yet.
Rating: - Nearly pornographic B movie with A moments
Three great performances (Rock, Angie, Telly) keep this sexually charged ship afloat, plus some terrific period cinematography.
Rock Hudson especially must be commended for not "throwing away" his part in this not exactly career enhancing deal. Vadim's lens closes in on Rock whose expressions sometimes have to carry the sometimes loose and limp script - though it is a notable as strong effort by Gene Roddenberry, with very credible and colorful dialogue.

Rating: - Would you believe?
A wonderfully goofy dark comedy with Hudson giving a terrific performance. Interesting to note that not only does the cast have Jimmy Doohan and William Campbell, it was also produced by Gene Roddenberry! I actually saw this when I was in high school. Would you trust your teenage daughter to this counselor?
Rating: - But it's SO old
Well, so am I. I saw this movie at a drive in when it was first released. Now knowing about Rock Hudson takes a bit of lustre and believeablity out of the movie, but, hey, what did I know (or care) in the 70's? I found it interesting that one of the songs on the movie was by the (other Jackson 5) Osmonds (Chilly Winds)! Looking back at it now, the whole movie was pretty ridiculous but it was still entertaining. I'm glad I found a copy so I could relive my teenage moments...
Rating: - Aroused
Roger Vadim's twisted satire of Southern California and the American education program was a flop on first release, and it was a long time before he dared return to the USA to make another feature. But today PRETTY MAIDS ALL IN A ROW definitely has the hallmarks of a masterpiece, anchored by four brilliant performances. First off, Rock Hudson in perhaps his last important picture. He's a little fleshy and with his shirt off the camera seemes reluctant to travel past his navel for fear of exposing some extra weight on his hips. And Vadim's cameraman (Chuck Rosher, who later did A WEDDING and ... Read More
