This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Alice (Goldie Hawn look-a-like Sarah Kennedy) answers the phone in her apartment on day only to find the world's best obscene phone caller Mr. Smith (Norman Rose) on the other end. She is immediately smitten with him (after all, he is the world's best obscene phone caller) and demands to meet him. "I'm in the book," he tells her and Alice begins her quest to find THE John Smith, meeting lots of weirdos along the way. This bizarre and often hilarious avant garde comedy really took me for a wild ride. This is unlike anything before or since its release. Somewhere amongst the weirdness is commentary about oddballs, the role of sex in society and the increasing inability of people to communicate. The film is also an explosion of imagery, filmed mostly in black & white until the color ending that comes complete with a graphic cartoon. Despite such a lurid subject matter, director Nelson Lyon keeps it all in good fun. The only familiar faces for me were Dolph Sweet as one of the people making sexual confessions interspersed through out the film and a young William Hickey (he was once young!) as Alice's favorite lover - a man whose erection would never go down. Definitely one of a kind.

Who is John Smith? why....every man's deepest fantasy of course. As he utters at one point and which sums up this incredibly original and black-humored ode to left wing sexuality..."I have perfected the obscene call to the point where I could seduce the President, his wife and his family - but I have no political ambition!"Poor old Alice, cute little Goldie Hawn wannabe and who is a couple of bra-sizes short of average intelligence, she decides to answer her telephone! Big mistake - it is the world's most experienced serially-obscene phone caller. Does she care? No, she falls in love with him. She must embark now on the ultimate sexual odyssey to discover the joys of true spoken obscenity.This film is unlike anything else ever made - as original as ERASERHEAD, as meaningless as an Osmond Brothers album. You have to see it...if for no other reason to witness Barry Morse's cameo to end all cameos. They surely COULDN'T have paid him to do it...he MUST have paid them!I have had this film for twenty years and STILL haven't let my kids see it! I think mine is the only copy in Australia, if not the southern hemisphere. A deep deep underground film that could NEVER have found theatrical release I imagine.

Very entertaining. Girl in Manhattan receives the obscene call of her life, attempts to find him (identified as "John Smith") in the telephone book. Funny scenes as she finds the wrong John Smiths. Surprise ending when she finds the right one. Some nudity and extremely explicit but funny cartoon sequences.

That is the only word to describe this totally off the wall comedy/art/porno. The story runs like this, a young and very cute girl (Sarah Kennedy) is sitting at home one day (probably looking at her pornographic wallpaper!). The phone rings, she picks up. Lo and behold it is, John Smith, the worlds greatest obscene phone caller! She instantly falls in love with his "amazing obscenities" and goes on a sexual adventure searching for him. This movie is NOT like your average porno, to be honest I did not even see anything close to hard sex. What I did see was a visual, auditory and sexual explosion of sheer oddity. If there was an 11 out of 10 this is the only movie I know that would get it!!!
