Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

I loved it so much when I first saw this, mainly because I loved watching anything with Roddy McDowall. But it was much more than that. It was so hilarious. And despite what some reviewer said on here about that the girls in the film were really under 18 - 1. How does he know? 2. I'm sure they weren't they were all actresses many of who were around in plenty of movies at the time. I love the sexiness of it. It was a different time and a time I miss in films. I so miss it. It hasn't been repeated on TV for since the 70's. SO many missing gems that I wish would see the light of day again. I know it was a great thriller too, I definitely won't be giving out any spoilers as I can't remember how it ends. That is why I so wish I could view it again. I never new Vadim was the director. I mean as a child back them, I wouldn't have known who Vadim was. And being shown on Australian TV in the early 70's I just thought it was another TV movie. As all those main actors at the time were mainly in TV shows.

At Oceanfront High School, all of the female students are lithe, lovely,luscious and lusty, the substitute English teacher is delighted to introduce the assistant manager of the football team to the wonders of sex (if only to help shrink his perpetual erection) and someone is killing off co-eds.The identity of the murderer isn't hard to figure out. The short list of suspects is a very short list. More puzzling is how MGM got away with schoolmarm Angie Dickinson's seduction of the underage lad played by John David Carson. Or why even the homeliest co-ed at Oceanfront turns out to be a knockout when she takes off her glasses and lets her hair hang loose. Rock Hudson in an uncharacteristic role is the phys ed teacher who spends most of his time bedding students. Telly Savalas is a curious cop and Keenan Wynn gets what he deserves for being the movie's dumbest security guard.

This picture takes the theme of perverted school personnel long before the media began focusing their attention on such people in their never ending attacks on school employees.Correction: Rock Hudson is not a teacher in this film. He is an assistant principal, coach, and guidance counselor all in one. He starts to have relations with some of the female students and murder and mayhem result.Roddy McDowell is the typical figure-head like principal in this mess. His secretary sounds and looks like Betty Boop.Yes, this is 1971 and Angie Dickinson looks more beautiful than ever. Telly Savalas is the chronic smoking detective and Keenan Wynn is a dumb officer who meets a bad fate when he accidentally stumbles on to what Hudson has been doing.The ending is ludicrous but so is the entire film.

On his way to Southern California's "Oceanfront High School", 17-year-old Los Angeles senior John David Carson (as Ponce de Leon Harper) can't escape the constant barrage of sexy girls in tight shirts, shorts and mini-skirts. When horny substitute teacher Angie Dickinson (as Betty Smith) sticks her butt in his face and rubs her breasts on him, Mr. Carson has to run for relief in the boys' lavatory. There, he discovers the dead body of a shapely cheerleader with a farewell note on her panties. This is the start of a serial murder spree at the high school. Meanwhile, guidance counselor and football coach Rock Hudson (as Michael "Tiger" McDrew) is copulating – he takes willing girls into his office and turns on the "Testing" light...Carson is the water-boy for Mr. Hudson's football team and asks his coach for advice about sex. We're not privy to exactly why Carson, an attractive guy, is unable to find an interested partner. His haircut is funny, but certainly not a deal breaker. Hudson decides to help Carson by setting him up with Ms. Dickinson. Pretty in pink, she nips the problem in the bud. Meanwhile, Hudson continues to bed beautiful young women as bald detective Telly Savalas (as Sam Surcher) investigates their murders. He, Hudson and Dickinson went on to star in successful 1970s TV series ("Kojak", "McMillan & Wife" and "Police Woman") in spite of this trash. This film was brought to you by producer-writer Gene Roddenberry and director Roger Vadim. Their "Pretty Maids All in a Row" does not boldly go where no man has gone before – but, it has charms...The highlight of this film is Mr. Vadim and Charles Rosher's arousing photography of young woman in and out of their clothing. The soft core antics of an admirable cast and what looks like dozens of casting couch cuties has no real substance – at least, not in this telling. The visual candy makes up for a silly story. The best shots are of the girls showing off their upper thighs and panties. Those who always knew "Here Comes the Brides" downer Susan Tolsky was secretly hot will see proof. While older than the others, Dickinson more than holds her own. Other than that, it's just strange to see this cast and crew team up – as a stupefying bonus, you get The Osmonds' chirping theme song "Chilly Winds" (a non-hit B-Side).***** Pretty Maids All in a Row (4/28/71) Roger Vadim ~ Rock Hudson, John David Carson, Angie Dickinson, Telly Savalas
