Incompetent directing

This movie feature what have got to be somewhere in my top 5 of the most incompetent directing I have ever seen, it's astonishingly bad, if someone want the perfect example of something made without care and botched it's this... it's so flawlessly bad on every aspect, of course I couldn't stand watching more than 30 minutes... Most no-budget porn movie from the 70s that I've seen are better directed than that... It deserve to go directly on IMDB bottom 100 of the worst movies of all time...

Since Coppola wrote the screenplay, it would have been better if he had completed "The Godfather Part II" and then shot this himself. It would have been MUCH better, I am guessing.

It's just very flat. A year later, that Raquel Welch movie 'The Wild Party' is released and yeah it's not very good, but it at least has a pulse. This was a chore to watch.
