}}Cowards is a 1970 American drama film written and directed by Simon Nuchtern about the then-topical issue of draft evasion during the Vietnam War.[1][1] It was screened at the Cannes Film Festival in 1970.[2][3]

Following the commercial failure of Cowards, the film was re-edited with newly-shot erotic scenes featuring unrelated actors, and was reissued under the title Love-In '72 so that it could be remarketed as a sexploitation film. Nuchtern's name was removed from the credits of the recut version; the direction of Love-In '72 was credited to Sidney Knight and Karl Hansen, and the writing to Jay Robins.[4][6][5]

Plot

A young man must decide whether to flee the U.S. draft and move to Canada, or stay or go fight for his country in Vietnam.[6]

Reception

Reviews of Cowards were mixed to negative. Roger Greenspun of the New York Times said he "liked" Cowards despite it being "one of the squarest, most unashamedly flat‐footed films of the year," and praised the performances of John Ross and Susan Sparling.[7] The New York Daily News said that "at best, the drama is talky and labored."[8] TV Guide dismissed it as "inept" and "a film best forgotten."[9]

Reviewing the DVD release of the Love-In '72 cut, Frank Henenlotter of Something Weird Video said "Eagle-eyed viewers will enjoy spotting two now-mainstream actors in small, incendiary roles: Philip Baker Hall plays the priest who preaches the gospel of civil disobedience, while monologuist Spalding Grey is alternately funny and scary as a psycho terrorist babbling at a party."[10]
