Synopsis
'A filmic montage of machinery parts in motion, the movement of which simulate or resemble sexual intercourse. --David Lewis, All Movie Guide

Film notes
'Daring and ingenious...daring because of its 'forbidden' subject matter; ingenious because commonplace objects are uncommonly related to build an action without actors, the effect of which is vivid, witty and downright bold. --Lewis Jacobs
