"The Swinger" is quite a relic, the film that begs the question, "Is there any emulsified substance we haven't seen Ann-Margret slather her body with?" Dated, with lots of sexist humour and lots of egregiously tacky 60's fashions, it actually has the feel of a Rock Hudson/Doris Day comedy (but not as funny, at least not in the way the writers intended!) but with lots of leering double-entendres. The premise concerns writer A-M trying to sell her stories to a Playboy-type magazine, but editor Tony Franciosa believes her to be too sweet and innocent, so she goes out of her way to portray herself as a "swinger". Only in the sixties! What more can you say about a film that contains not one, but *two* photo montage sequences? The most memorable scene is of course the orgy, the wacky opening and closing credits are lots of silly fun as well.
