At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Predatory seductress Elvira (an excellent performance by the stunning Claire Wilbur) and her equally calculating photographer husband Jack (smoothly played by the handsome Gerald Grant) are an extremely liberated and uninhibited swinging couple who make a bet with themselves that they can seduce sweet and naive newlywed Betsy (a fine and appealing portrayal by the adorable Lynn Lowry) and her boyish ecologist spouse Eddie (a likable turn by strapping blonde hunk Calvin Culver) during a week-end get together at their luxury Riviera villa. Director Radley Metzger and writer Jerry Douglas expertly craft a sharp, witty, and utterly intoxicating tale that frankly addresses such bold adult topics as role playing, bisexuality, and open relationships with an admirable elegance and intelligence which lifts this film well above the level of your garden variety smutty skin flick. Moreover, Metzger astutely nails the blithely carefree try anything sexual experimentalism of the 70's and masterfully creates a deliriously erotic atmosphere that's both enticing and arousing in equal measure. The sensual set pieces are smoking hot stuff; the lengthy and strenuous lesbian session between Betsy and Elvira in particular delivers one hell of a scorching punch. Wilbur, Grant, and Lowry all do sterling work in their roles while Carl Parker ably acquits himself in a supporting part as cocky macho telephone repairman Mike. Frano Vodopivec's sumptuous cinematography makes the most out of the gorgeous seaside Croatian locations. Robert Cornford's jaunty and jazzy score hits the tuneful spot. Highly recommended.

I was lucky enough to have found this title at a discount retail store and all I kept thinking is oh, boy what a treat. It was lovely to see a period in time where folks were carefree with their bodies and uninhibited play flowed beautifully throughout this film. I specially like the fact that as the DVD box stipulates, this is a film made with all audiences in mind and you will fully leave satisfied. I was so enthralled in the story that I wish the film continued for another two and a half hours. I was reading some of the reviews here and I'm sad to hear that some of the main actors passed on. However, I was glad I was able to find this gem that took me back into a world where life is light, fun and filled with sexual joy! Now that I have discovered "Score" I will be looking more closely in the bins for the other dvds of these fine actors. Everything about this movie was exceptional, specially the sex, not overt sadly, but most enjoyable and very sexually stimulating! A must see!

Jack and Elvira, a thirtyish American couple living in Europe, amuse themselves with the game of seduction, keeping score on each other's successes and failures. As the movie opens, Elvira is laying an elaborate trap with which she hopes to lure the fresh-faced Betsy into her lair. Betsy and her equally-innocent husband Eddie come to dinner, and the evening is devoted to the machinations of the wilier and far more experienced couple as they try to further Elvira's plot. The musical soundtrack is unbelievably horrible, but the dialogue is hilariously arch, the cast is attractive, and director Radley Metzger, the undisputed master of the classy Eurotrash film, conveys more with close-ups of the actors' eyes than has anyone since silent film director G. W. Pabst. If sexual humor in film makes you uncomfortable, stay far away from this one, it'll save you stomping out later in a huff. But if you think sex can be funny, and you're out for some of the best lines ever uttered, go for SCORE -- you won't regret it.

This film, from the early 70's, was a milestone for adult sex comedies. It presented an attractive couple who are into both sexes without shame or guilt about their sexual proclivities. Indeed, it is the "straight" couple (played by Claire Wilbur and Calvin Culver) who question their own sex life. After lifting the barriers of guilt, the young couple are able to enjoy sex with whichever partner they're with, whether they are male or female. The relaxed pacing of the film, combined with the restrained performance make the same sex lovemaking seem almost childlike. This "forbidden" topic has rarely been seen or handled as deftly since.
