    • Quotes

      Inspector Sordik: [voiceover, as Christine stares hungrily at meat patties being prepared] Christine Delaplane was that rare gumbo, a mixture of half-child, half-girl... and all woman.

    • Crazy credits
      Narrator reminds viewers to "hang up your speakers and drive home safely!"
    • Alternate versions
      The video distributed by Monarch Home Video is heavily edited with approximately 26 minutes of footage removed. All the scenes with sex and nudity have been removed despite the video still retaining the original R-rating. The much rarer video distributed by VCI Home video has all these scenes intact.

    Great underrated film. Mayo and Davison are terrific...

    Unusual flashback film with lead characters playing dual roles. Virginia Mayo gives one of her best latter-day performances. An underrated film and a greatly underrated actress. Tongue-in-cheek melodrama mixes "Pretty Baby" plot with "French Lieutenant's Woman" structure, but actually predates both.
