Production
The film was financed by businessman David Sullivan to promote the career of Millington, who was his girlfriend at the time.[3] In the event, Millington died a few weeks after the film's release.
Diana Dors performed the film's theme song over the opening titles.
Release
The film was Sullivan's first box-office flop, being released at a period when soft porn theatrical films were losing their popularity in Britain.[4]
Critical reception
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "With its barely identifiable semblance of plot, a level of comic invention exemplified by having the hero interrupt his love-making by breaking wind, and a dramatic context that amounts to little but the endless offering and pouring of drinks, this erotic 'thriller' proves squalidly unwatchable."[5]
