Production
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
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]
