"It's a great film," said Ferd Sebastian late in his career. [3] However, a 1972 article had him refer to it as "strictly drive-in" fare. [4] "If you ever find a print of I Need or The Love Clinic let me know," he told the online publications Mondo Stumpo in 1999. "The lab went bankrupt and all the negatives they had were stolen. So they might show up some day."

Premise

A female urologist and a male obstetrician open clinics in the same building. According to Ferd Sebastian, "They have to tell all of their problems to a computer and the computer talks. And she falls in love with the computer!" [3]
