Synopsis: Woody Allen's in-name-only adaptation of the once notorious sexual reference guide by Dr. David Reuben contains seven episodes based on "helpful" questions answered in the book. In "Do Aphrodisiacs Work?", Allen appears as a court jester who uses a love potion to spark the erotic interests of the Queen (Lynn Redgrave). "What Is Sodomy?" stars Gene Wilder as a doctor who throws away his marriage, career, and position in the community when he falls madly in love with an Armenian sheep named Daisy. ... Full Synopsis
Critics' Reviews
Gene Wilder gives one of his very best performances as the doctor who, quite unexpectedly, falls madly in love with a sheep. Comedy in Allen's films usually grows out of neuroses, not out of situation. This segment of the film displays both Wilder's range as an actor and Allen's range as a writer. The concluding segment, with Allen as a sperm, may be his purest declaration of comedic subject matter. ... Full Review
