== Reception ==
Italian film critic Marco Giusti described it as the most expensive, yet also the most ordinary, among the erotic films directed by D'Amato, and pointed out that the film is highly derivative of Luigi Zampa's Be Sick... It's Free and of Mariano Laurenti's comedies of the time. Corriere della Sera film critic Maurizio Porro described it as a film that "trivializes everything it touches and involutes each and every every joke".{{cite news |last1=Porro |first1=Maurizio |title=Ginecologo-bene |work=Corriere della Sera|date=2 March 1977 |page=13}}
