Pretty Maids All in a Row is an MGM American comedy film released in 1971, directed and produced by Roger Vadim with screenplay written by Gene Roddenberry based on the novel by Francis Pollin. It is most famous for its sexual content, its 60's "free love message," and The Pretty Maids, the female, sexually provacative high school students who populate this slightly-above-Grade-B sex romp.

[edit] Plot (includes Spoilers)

The film is set in "Ocean Side High School", an ficticious American High School in the height of the sexual revolution. The movie is notorious, for the time (1971), for its sexual content in the form of the young female high school students who are being targeted by an unknown serial killer. The film centers around the sexual frustrations of Ponce, a male student who is surrounded by an a seemingly unending stream of beautiful and sexually provocative female students.

The film's other star, Michael 'Tiger' McDrew, is played by Rock Hudson. Tiger is the high school's football coach and guidance counselor. Early in the movie the audience is introduced to another aspect of Hudson's chartacter; he is quite fond of sexual encounters with young, attractive female students in the school. Tiger befriends Ponce and tries to help Ponce deal with his sexual frustrations by encouraging him to seek the affections of a substitute teacher, Miss Smith, played by Angie Dickinson.
