No, Annie Hall. Co-star Tony Roberts introduced the movie but refused to take questions from the female hysterics who were determined to question him on the sexist attitudes of Annie Hall.
I was no stranger to “art films”-from the time I was about 10, anytime we traveled to the city to buy something that wasn’t available in our rural area, my mom would take me along to see the latest one wherever it was showing-she should probably not have been letting me see stuff like that-I remember an Italian one with Sophia Loren playing a prostitute/madam, stripping off her top onscreen, another one called “Bocaccio 70”-I think-with a blonde actress-lots of other art flicks. There was a lot of partial nudity and sex in all of them-and some were obviously made to be funny.
That said, I’d gone to the drive-in as a teen with cousins to see the latest scandalous flick-”Candy”, “Myra Breckenridge”, etc -but never ever with a date until I was in college and went with my fiance to see Last Tango. I was far from being a naive virginal girl, but I was so mortified during that butter scene that the only reason I didn’t head to the ladies’ room was because I didn’t want to look like an unsophisticated little ranch girl. My fiance laughed at me for hours... I watched Last Tango with my guy at his place last Summer-and I was damn near as mortified by that scene-he thought that was funny...
