i would probably not have bother to comment on this film if i have not be disturb by the constant reference make to it here in north america a a porn film . our obsession with what be and or should be and regard a pornographic remain a relic of the guidance provide to film maker by the hayes committee many and many year ago and it be now really time that we relegate it to the past . so far we have not progress far beyond establish a somewhat arbitrary division between what we now term oft and hard porn and with both carry the same pornography label . it be time for u all recognise that neither the r rat ( soft porn . ) release version of this film and nor the unrated version ( hard porn . ) available on dvd be in any way pornographic . in legal term pornography be define by it capacity to deprave or corrupt . many classic book such a lady chatterley lover and fanny hill and woman in love and the story of o or moll flanders have be prosecute for pornographic content and try by jury and clear on the basis of this definition and but in practice most ordinary citizen be not interested in what they regard a legal equivocation and and apply a simpler test that be rather too stringent when apply to book or film which be very close to the line and but serf to quickly clear most others from any taint of pornography . although the hayes code would have rat aiw a unacceptable both for nudity and for it depiction of sexual activity and in practice most people today accept that where the basic message of a book or film be clearly design to encourage the development of long term stable family relationship in which the participant find real fulfillment and it can not be regard a pornographic ( this do not mean that work depict unsatisfactory or unstable relationship should be recognise a pornographic and only that these may need a more sophisticated assessment ) . in aiw and we have a film about a young female librarian who have have a rather sheltered upbringing and and keep her suitor at arm length because of a feeling that this be what morality require her to do . after he get too frustrate by this and threaten to leave her and she fall asleep and dreams she be transport to a wonderland ( closely base on that of lewis carrol ) where everyone she meet be totally uninhibited about their sexual need . she be shocked and but be a kind person who take thing a she find them and so before long she find her own prejudice gradually melt away . she wake up when her boyfriend return to break off their affair and but her attitude to him have change so completely that their relationship be fully restore and and the film end with them live happily ever after with their child in a home with a white picket fence and a family dog an end clearly direct to those romantic who remain very young at heart . pornographic . hardly . suitable view for child . well probably not quite and unless they have very progressive parent . r rating . pg would be more appropriate today . entertain for viewer in most age group . yes and but the film have it fault these be discuss in many of the comment here on imdb and however most commentator clearly appreciate and enjoy it . i believe the only pornography associate with this film be the report claim by an anti pornography activist of scientific proof that a magazine picture of kristin debell be a photographic montage of image of the face of a ten year old with various body part of adult model . these and other comment seriously damage the career of a very promising young actress and but today the film appear to be on it way to become a cult classic and several home video production have be release in both vhs and dvd format while the last be a dvd contain both the r rat and unrated version of the film and release by subversive cinema in 2007. copy of this be readily available until a few month ago and now they be almost exhaust and the mail order vendor who still have copy in stock be sell them at many time their original price a situation which usually quickly result in a new dvd release appear . this continue interest nearly 35 year after the original film be release point to near classic status . commentator on this database be expect to provide fellow viewer with useful guidance on whether a film be worth watch or even collect my comment here be intend to stress the ongoing damage to the industry that still result from pressure on major studio to respect self censorship recommendation originate with the hayes committee . on this database such general comment be very quickly mark by reader a not helpful and i seldom make them while but fortunately i still have space to add that in my opinion this film be quite unusual and be well worth watch or even buy . it be flaw and but kristine debell give a great performance and the film provide a fairly unique and reward view experience . overall i would rate it at 7 star and will be buy a copy of the next dvd edition if and when it appear . if ms debell be still alive today i would love to hear her comment both on the attempt to suppress this film and on the late recognition that it have gradually achieve .
