Cast



Release


In January 1975 two members of the cast, Luda Apinys and Ken Doyle, sought an injunction to have the film withdrawn on the grounds that it was a pornographic film and they had only agreed to make an educational one. Their attempt was unsuccessful.[3]

The movie was rated "R".[4] According to Trenchard-Smith the film "did okay... getting its money back and making a small profit."[1]
