Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The title comes from a genuine 1969 sex manual by Dr. David Reuben—Allen bought rights for $60,000 then ignored the book completely.
Released months after Deep Throat made porn mainstream, this was Allen's attempt to keep sex comedy 'respectable'—the sheep scene suggests he failed.
