PLOT:
In the night of his 42nd birthday, George Webber (Dudley Moore), a popular songwriter, begins showing symptoms of "middle-age crisis." Over the succeeding weeks, he finds himself continually staring at young girls on the street, and he begins envying his high-living neighbor, whose life is one endless orgy. George's behavior causes great concern to his lover, singing star Samantha Taylor (Julie Andrews), and to his partner Hugh (Robert Webber), who has seemingly avoided George's dilemma by being gay. While driving home one afternoon, George spots Jenny (Bo Derek), a stunning young beauty en route to her marriage ceremony. Regarding her as "the most beautiful girl I've ever seen" (on a scale from one to 10), George follows her to the church. He later learns her name, and discovers that she and her husband are honeymooning in Mexico. Driven by the impulse to see her again, George flies to Mexico and checks into the hotel where Jenny is staying. Later, he sees the couple on the beach, and begins indulging in romantic fantasies about the lovely young girl. When he rescues her husband from drowning, a grateful Jenny invites George to her room.

Movies like "10", where "more skin" was shown and they were classified as "sexy", took part in the changing faces of sexuality.
When the audience looks at these public figures (actors and actresses), they get new ideas and most of them follow their steps.That is the reason of why throughout the years the faces of sexuality have changed. More and more people are taking part of this new sexy "trend", and that helped then trend spread throughout the years.

This movie is incredibly funny. I thought the old man that fell in love at first sight with a beutiful women while she was on her way to her wedding was very comical and weird. This film was released in the 70's and the influence it had on the women and their sexuality is amzing, to the extent of changing their outlook and what was correct and incorrect to wear in public. I am doing I project on this movie, and analyzing why it was such a crucial part in the changing face of sexuality. Hopefully everyone will check it out because its engaging, fun to watch and well it expands the horizon on the potential this film had on sexuality.
