Oh! Calcutta! was terrible. Just awful. Poorly written, poorly acted, trapped in its own social milieu. And I imagine it was trite even in its time.

The one other interesting tidbit however is that one of the actors, Bill Macy, would go on to play opposite Bea Arthur in the television series Maude as her put-upon husband, Walter. He also still does guest shots on some present-day series.

That's the only redeeming quality of this dreck - getting to see this guy naked and giggle as you imagine Bea Arthur intoning, "God is gonna getcha for that, Walter!"
