Warm up the excessive machine! Jane Fonda climaxes her sex kitten phase in hubbie Roger Vadim’s psychedelic sci-fi fantasy, taken from a French comic strip renowned as a kind of adults-only Alice in Wonderland.

With John Phillip Law (Diabolik), David Hemmings and Anita Pallenberg. Rate N for Naughty.
