The Liberty Belles

Saga of a man who wants to publish his novel. The plot line revolves around Roland's unpublished novel "A Woman in a Web". Helen is a domineering type who scoffs at the idea of even looking at the dog-eared manuscript, but when Theresa becomes simpatico with Roland she kindly forwards it to her boyfriend, who scores a big publishing deal. After many sex scenes the cast of six all get together for a finale orgy, though it is staged strictly two by two (all in the same living room) rather than group sex per se.

Directed by —, The Liberty Belles leans on a strong ensemble — Orita De Chadwick, Marsha Hart, Ric Lutze — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1973.
