When a clip from the film was featured in Electric Blue 002 (1981), Diane Hart sued, and won the case, claiming she had been made an object of ridicule.
Whilst filming, Diane Hart was also campaigning in the General Election. She stood as an Independent in the constituency of Lewisham South.
In 2018, Joanna Lumley revealed she felt pressured to strip for this movie. Speaking to the Sunday Mirror, the star said: "In those days if you were an actress you had to take you top off or they would have said you're not a real actress. I got my top off. We had to. Look, Diana Rigg has done it. Julie Christie has done it.'
