Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Released months after Woodstock, this studio comedy tried to cash in on counterculture while completely misunderstanding it. The 'natural childbirth' plot was 'edgy' enough to require a disclaimer.

Trivia

Pete Duel (Walter) would become a TV heartthrob on 'Alias Smith and Jones' before his tragic death two years later; this is his most substantial film role.
