Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask) | DVD | 1972 | Woody Allen & Gene Wilder | New & Sealed

Seven questions become seven very different comic worlds in Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask). Woody Allen's 1972 anthology comedy takes loose inspiration from Dr. David Reuben's book, turning its subject into a series of surreal sketches rather than a straightforward guide.

From a royal court to television game-show parody and science-fiction-inspired scenarios, the film shifts styles as freely as it shifts settings. An ensemble including Gene Wilder, Lynn Redgrave and Tony Randall joins Allen in a collection of adult farce, visual humour and deliberately outlandish situations.
