Review: Naked Came the Stranger (1975)

Gilly and Billy host a successful morning radio show from their own home, and when she discovers her husband is cheating on her with his secretary Phyllis (a delightfully histrionic Mary Stuart), she decides to spy on them for her own excitement. From here, the comedy is high and priceless, and Gilly sets out to resolve the humiliation in kind, learning the art of adultery from her friends and acquaintances.
This is the second hardcore project from respected erotic author Radley Metzger, also known as "Henry Paris," following his resolutely explicit hit "The Private Afternoons of Pamela Mann." As with all his full-color fornication films, Metzger wrote the script under his pseudonym, surpassing himself with a plethora of witty one-liners that reflect the sophisticated brilliance of a comedy classic by Ernst Lubitsch or Billy Wilder, of which this is the closest approximation the adult genre could hope to achieve.
