Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Philip Roth's novel of Jewish identity and assimilation in the suburbs of New York gets a spirited comic reading in this 1969 film, which marked the acting debut of model Ali McGraw (and who thought that was a good idea?). Actually, she's pretty good as the Jewish princess whose father has made a fortune in plumbing supplies. Richard Benjamin, who went on to become an odd sex symbol of the '70s, had just the right comic twist as the young man who can't overcome McGraw's middle-class morality with his sense of passion and romance. Jack Klugman is outstanding as her hard-driving and unyieldding father. A touchstone film. --Marshall Fine

Does not hold up well to today's standards of film making, given outdated morality and repressed sexual mores of the time. Even the ending is kind of muddled and confusing. In fact one could say that the whole movie is pretty boring actually. Yet, the "wedding scene" was and is iconic of consumerism, greed and materialsm of a type that has not been matched since.

She is ultimately unable to be rescued by her prince, a confused guy, Neil, played by Benjamin to perfection, who doesn't want to end up as inauthentic as her but is not sure where to find his place. Though this movie is dated in almost every way, including a bad ... Read More

The title of this review is from the movie poster, one of the few tag lines of any poster for any movie I've ever remembered, but it caused such curiousity in me, I had to go see the movie. The poster showed a virginal girl smelling a perfect rosebud and the line was because father's never know for sure what their adult kids are up to. They just want to hope that their kids never have sex and become as tainted and spoiled as the rest of the world. You know, being a virgin is like being a brand new ... Read More

My mom had told me about this movie recently, I remembered seeing it as a kid. The title came across my list of Movies To See and I decided to give it a whirl. I found the material dated, unrealistic and rather annoying.
Richard Benjamin plays a middle class library employee in New York state who meets Ali MacGraw, one of the most beautiful women of all time, at a country club swimming pool one summer day. He falls for the siren (and who wouldn't with her gorgeousness) and they begin ... Read More
