Language of Love

The mother of all sex education films! This sparked scandal and a huge demonstration in London (led by Cliff Richard) on its release because it includes scenes of actual-sexual-intercourse, but there's also a lot of 'sexologists' talking, smoking and drinking coffee - and music by Bjorn and Benny, just before they started Abba. Language of Love is also the film Travis Bickle thought would be a good first-date movie in Taxi Driver.
