This has the sort of fun, junky plot line you'd expect from say a Hammer horror film or even Monogram - a woman visits a clinic where she discovers everyone is rejuvenated and she discovers that there are Nefarious Reasons for this.
Annie Girardot is winning as the the middle aged heroine who comes to rejuvenate herself. Alain Delon is perfect casting as the ageless doctor (did he ever play a vampire? He should have). The guests are other middle aged people - one of them includes the blonde who felt up Sylvia Kristen in Emmanuelle. They all cavort naked in the sauna and at the beach a lot. The exploited underclass here are the Portugese, which gives this an interesting European colonialism undercurrent.
There's a decent theme song, Girardot stabs Delon to death in a satisfactorily way and then is disbelieved the locked up for it. It's unpretentious, silly fun.
