Overview

Oddly Coupled is a bawdy 1970 sex comedy that opens with a bang—or several. While vivacious Malta and pretty Donna Young are busy with their own escapades, the real story belongs to Hobart Moore, a painfully shy, fish-obsessed proto-nerd. Hobart is abruptly abducted by three spirited women—Gloria, Didi, and Sheri—who bring him to their home to serve as a potential suitor for their friend Gertie, a voluptuous nymphomaniac with a strong dislike for being called "Madam." The women’s over-the-top attempts to spark Hobart’s interest in anything other than his beloved tropical fish drive this offbeat, irreverent romp. Expect an eccentric blend of sexual misadventures, neurotic personalities, and plenty of nudity.
