Production
[edit]The film was made in 1969 but not released until 1973.[3] It is described as a soft core porn film with lesbian scenes which was made pornographic with added scenes when released overseas.[4] These sex scenes caused legal problems and had to be censored for the Argentine market, which significantly delayed the release of the film.[5]
Reception
[edit]La Prensa opined that "All the elements have been played with awkwardness and memorable lack of imagination". Raúl Manrupe and Maria Portela in their book Un diccionario de films argentinos (1930-1995) wrote: "Forgotten incursion of 70s erotic cinema to which some porn scenes were added for its exhibition abroad".[6]
