"National Lampoon", November 1971
Broad plotting and a heap of swishy gags, as Hendra plays crass heterosexuality off against simpering stereotypes.

"The Merv hasn't changed" poster is a reference to talk show host Merv Griffin, who was long rumoured to be gay, but which was only confirmed after his death.
