Summary: Campy Fun from the 70's!
Review: The Harrad Experiment is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen in my life. Unfortunately, it was meant to be a serious drama and not a comedy. Anyway, here are my 10 favorite moments from the film:1. Sheila arriving at the college and going over to a tree to hug it for no apparent reason. 2. The nude yoga class. 3. The overly dramatic music played as Wilson comes up the stairs before catching Stanley with Barbara. 4. The egg contest at the restaurant. 5. Stanley offering Sheila to the old man for $... and the old man's cape. 6. Sheila's reaction to finding out about Stanley and Beth. 7. The lady performer at the improvisational show. 8. Tippi Hedren's fall during the badminton game. 9. Tippi seducing Don Johnson on the college's front lawn. 10. The dialogue at the ending (zoom, zoom, etc.). This was a very low budget film from the 70's and that fact painfully shows over the course of the movie. The acting, editing, music, and everything else is very poorly done. Of course, that's also what makes the movie so much fun to watch, even today. I would highly suggest trying to track down a copy of this campy classic. It's a fun way to spend an evening. A word of warning however, several of the DVD releases contain the version edited for televison! I have no idea why they would release the film in such a way. It's very poorly edited also: the scenes that contained nudity look choppy and several of the bad words are muted right out, they're not even dubbed over. So overall, this is a great movie that you should definitely try to see, just be careful as to which version you're getting!

Summary: Edited for TV (G-rated)
Review: The Platinum disc corporation release of The Harrad Experiment is a heavily edited version for TV. Naughty words are bleeped out, and all scenes involving nudity have been deleted. The catalog listing for this DVD should reflect that this is NOT the R-rated theatrical release of 1973.

Summary: Interesting primarily as a period piece
Review: The story is of a college experiment which tries to teach free love to a small group of students. People who are too young to remember the sixties will be amazed that people could have been so vacuously naive as to believe that all the world's problems could be solved by "liberating" ourselves from the tired old notions of monogamy and modesty. The film will also surprise those who think that there has been a continuous trend of increasing flesh and sexuality in motion picture history. The fact is that no mainstream movie would be willing to put as much full frontal nudity on the screen in the year 2000 as this movie did back in 1970 (or thereabouts). And actors of the stature of Whitmore and Hedren wouldn't appear in a movie like this today, either. Basically the movie was sincere in its intentions, but utterly silly in retrospect. And if you're offended by nudity, steer clear of this one!

Summary: TV Version
Review: The tape being offered is not the original R rated version, but the one shown on regular television. All nudity and swear words are removed, making this film into a PG movie. As far as I know the uncut version is not being sold anywhere.

Summary: Edited TV version
Review: This DVD is a highly edited version with many scenes and words chopped out or bleeped. This is not the theatrical version in any way. It should have been clearly labeled as such. I am returning it to Amazon for a refund. Hope you can avoid that hassle.

Summary: An Experiment In "Questionble Taste"
Review: This movie isn't great, but it's not that bad either. Made in the "free love" and sexual revolution of the 70's, the movie tries to explore the social ramifications of that school of thought. The acting and directing aren't bad, the dialogue is sometimes ludacris and at times very thoughtful. Buy this movie for an interesting look at the 70's (and lots of full frotal nudity--early pics of Don Johnson nude, pre Miami Vice)

Summary: You have to be a *real* 60's fan for this one...
Review: This rather cheesy movie seems to have been motivated by an incongruous combination of 1960's idiotic radical politics at their worst and a desire to show lots of footage of naked young people cavorting about. Most of the acting is unbearably sanctimonious, except for that of Hedren, which is annoying, overblown, and unbearably sanctimonious. Don Johnson and Bruno Kirby must shudder at the mention of this film--and so do I!

Summary: Harrad Experiment
Review: When I buy a movie, I expect to get the entire movie, just as I expect to get a full gallon of milk rather than just 3 quarts. If I weren't willing to see the nudity, I wouldn't buy the title. Some of the deletions removed not only the nudity, but also important dialogue that occurred at the same time, so several scenes make no sense at all (even less than in the original, which wasn't quite Shakespeare to start). I didn't even finish watching this version, but recently I found a bargain-bin DVD entitled "Classic 70s Movies" which included an uncut version of this film - nothing missing that I noticed! That's the one that's in my DVD library now. Don't waste your money on this atrocity.
