A late-'60s pop artifact starring Jane Fonda as an intergalactic explorer with a distracting habit of losing her clothes. The movie Fonda would rather not be remembered for, not that it's likely to go away anytime soon. Worth catching for Jane's cheeky presence, if nothing else. Vadim's soundstage effects look tawdry, but maybe that's the point. The opening credits should not be missed.
