"If THE DEVIL IS DEAD is a requiem for man becoming mutant[…] GORGEOUS is quite the opposite. It is a celebration of the freedoms from sexual and spiritual hang-ups that modern man is trying to win for himself--a flowing loose outgoing film which continually, as SKIN did (as most of Linder's films have done), relates men to nature... it's a work that seems buoyed on hope." - Richard Whitehall, L.A. Free Press, Dec. 26, 1969
