From ‘The Stone Age’ to ‘The Future Age’, there is a one continuous thread and that thread is lovely young women with a spirit for entrepreneurship. ‘The Oldest Profession’ provides us with six prime examples and if your mind does not normally turn to things financial, then just consider this a guilty pleasure and enjoy these alluring actresses showing what they are made of. In ‘The Prehistoric Era’ , Michele Mercier learns the lesson that you beauty plus makeup makes for a more lucrative lifestyle. ‘Roman Nights’ prove to be very costly to the emperor when he discovers that what he’s paying for is exactly what his wife, Elsa Martinelli, is selling! ‘Mademoiselle Mimi’ (played by Jeanne Moreau) is more than a bit surprised that her latest client is more interested in the guillotine than in her seductive charms. ‘The Belle Epoque’ has Raquel Welch pulling a switch. Finding out that her would-be client is a rich banker, she decides that he should be her ‘object of desire’ and winds up paying him for their time together. ‘Paris Today’ features two young ladies who definitely have the ‘do it yourself’ spirit' - they manage to take to the road where all the action is going mobile. “Anticipation’ (directed by Jean Luc-Godard) provides us with a look into the future as Anna Karina finds a totally new way to communicate with her man. DVD EXTRA - "The Ad Man Age” - In which our hero, the advertising executive who uses women to sell products, goes a bit mad and sees nude women everywhere

Raquel Welch at her most provocative!
Raquel Welch , that’s it ! One of the most beautiful beings to grace films in the past century, and dismissed for being a sex symbol as views on women’s role in society were taking on new personas. Still her body of work ( no pun intended) speaks for her lasting contribution to films .

Not worth the money.
This is not in English and has subtitles and very bad fuzzy video. Raquel Welch is only in it for a short period as are the other performers.

Good to watch only once!
I hadn't seen this movie since it first came out in the late 60's, and the only episode that I really remembered from it was the one with Raquel Welch. Seeing it again after all these years left me very disappointed at how outdated the whole film was. The only segment that, I think, passed the test of time was the one with Raquel Welch. No wonder it got stuck in my mind. Not that I'm particulary a fan of the lovely Miss Welch or anything, but her segment is by far the best. It's funny, cute and timeless.

Keep moving, nothing to see here
One star for Godard's segment, the only one with either nudity or interest, and serves as a kind of footnote to Alphaville, and one star for Raquel who, in this mess, looks the equal of Lawrence Olivier or Meryl Streep. Some of these segments are so awful they make you yearn for the subtlety of porn loops.For Godard completists only, I would say.

Can't be any worse...
I only watched about 1/3 of this film. Extremely boring with episodes from different ages about women flirting with men. No story, just fragments all on one topic. Nothing funny at all.Michelle Mercier fans watch out: she only appears in the first episode for about 15 mins and that's it. This movie isn't about her.
