The Love God?

1969 · 101 min

A gentle, goofy satire that coasts on its star's flustered charm, poking fun at prudishness and sudden fame without ever getting sharp or crude.

Tagline: So many women... Not enough man.
Overview: Ornithologist Abner Peacock sells off his modest-selling birdwatching periodical to a charlatan who turns it into a girlie mag, making it a massive financial success. After Peacock and the magazine are taken to court on obscenity charges, he unwillingly becomes a reluctant hero and ends up a swinging libertine.
How it feels: Satirical, light, whimsical and cynical. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Media, identity, freedom, morality
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
