Oh! Calcutta!(1972)
You Won't Believe You Saw The Whole Thing!
Oh! Calcutta! Synopsis
Based on the controversial off-Broadway musical comedy revue, "Oh! Calcutta!" is a series of musical numbers about sex and sexual mores. Most of the skits feature one or more performers in a state of undress, simulating sex, or both. The show sparked considerable controversy at the time because it featured extended scenes of total nudity, both male and female. The title is taken from a painting by Clovis Trouille, itself a pun on "O quel cul t'as!" French for "What an arse you have!".
Oh! Calcutta! (1972) is a comedy and music film directed by Jacques Levy, released on June 1, 1972 with a runtime of 2h 2m. It stars Raina Barrett, Bill Macy, Margo Sappington and Mark Dempsey. Viewers rate it 3.4 out of 10 across 9 ratings.
