Summary: Don't Waste Your Money
Review: Anyone expecting to see the original R-rated feature will be disappointed. This version on DVD has been gutted, and poorly at that. The result is a choppy version that makes the poor acting even more noticable. Save the money and donate it to your favorite charity.

Summary: Author waits for sequel. Harrad 2000!
Review: As the author of the novel I wasn't consulted when I finally saw the film. Alas, it leaves off on the story about half way through--with lots of scenes and dialogue I never wrote--and the film never explores the group marriage of Insix--too hot a subject for the1970's when it was made--AND NOW!There is no Harrad yet--and the Harrad Idea is not outdated. But the movie is fun to watch--and the swimming pool scene a delight with Don Johnson and Laurie Walters--young, and prettily naked. When the movie is run on network tv--the frontal nudity of both Laurie and Don is eliminated- proving that even in the 1990's the continuing sex revolution is not over. If the current owner of the video rights would contact me, I'd be happy to put a few pool scenes on my website Anyway--if you are a film maker the time has come for a sequel. Bob Rimmer

Summary: Not what I was expecting
Review: First, I must say - I would have liked to have been able to give this a zero star rating.
Second, this will teach me to read more of the reviews and to read them much more closely.
Third, I should have watched this DVD when it arrived, rather just doing a cursory check of the quality of the DVD: For if I had I too would have returned it for a refund.
This is to nothing more than a "G rated" (US television) release, replete with cut scenes and 'bleeped' speech. It is most definitely not the "R rated" version I was anticipating. European and Australian free to air networks would never, never mangle to such a degree a movie that was coming from such an innocuous base both in terms of language and nudity.
I can only surmise that from the time I placed my order in February 2004 til it shipped in August 2004 (a good reason not to combine orders to save on shipping costs) that an error was made as to which version I had ordered. Unfortunately, Amazon's returns policy doesn't seem to cover this type of problem - especially given the time that had expired between the DVD's arrival and my watching of it.

Summary: I wish I had read these reviews first!
Review: I bought this piece of [garbage] before reading reviews online. Thankfully I didn't pay much.I've seen the unedited version on VHS before, and it's pretty good. But this is unforgivable. It almost seems like it was edited for broadcast television. What a waste of time and money!

Summary: DVD Version Highly Edited
Review: I expect the seller to inform the buyer that the offered product has been highly edited when I read a technical description of a movie. I saw the original movie several years ago and was impressed with the method the director addressed several issues. Unfortunately, the DVD version of this movie cut key parts of the movie which detract from its overall message. Very disappointed with Amazon's limited movie description. CAVEAT EMPTOR.

Review: I purchased a DVD player today.. I was cruising around and spotted "The Harrad Experiment" on DVD.. Sorry to say this is the first DVD I've ever purchased! I had read the book but was too young to see the movie when it came out in'73. I thought this would be alot of fun to watch.. But they've managed to hack this DVD to bits. Without seeing original, I could tell whole scenes were cut; language was censored... I don't understand why the DVD was even issued in this manner.. This is TERRIBLE!! The DVD jacket should say "censored!!! What a rip! If you can somehow find the original it might be alot of fun.. but this was a huge disappointment!

Summary: Former interesting film BUTCHERED for DVD release
Review: I remember this film as being a visual treat and especially sensual. I also remember a lot of FULL nudity...NONE of which survived the transfer to DVD. It is significantly shorter than the original release. Don't waste your time or money on this 'butcher" job.

Summary: G-rated, censored version of the controversial 70s flick.
Review: I saw the movie, The Harrad Experiment, a few years back on video, and I thought it was an interesting look on the relationship between men and women, controversial for its time and loaded with corny dialogue and bad acting. I saw the DVD at a music store for 6 bucks and decided to buy it, not knowing that it was heavily cut and censored. The actual film contains a fair amount of nudity, none of which is found in the DVD. The scenes are either chopped out, or "cleverly" avoided. There is even a scene where several people skinny-dip in the school pool, and it is obvious that there are little black bares covering their "genital areas". I am one of those people who are strongly against censorship, when I saw the film "Eyes Wide Shut" in theatres, I did not know about the digital censoring that occured for the U.S. release, or I would not have even bothered to see it. It's not to say that the nudity in either film progesses the plot any further, but it was not, however, the original vision of the director, something I think should be put into perspective when releasing any film. Please do not buy this DVD, even if it is very inexpensive.
