 The film was denied a MPAA seal of approval due to a scene between  Oliver Reed (I) (qv) and Carol White (I) (qv) that implied oral  sex. Universal distributed the film through a subsidiary that was  not a signatory to the MPAA. Along with a similar scene in  _Charlie Bubbles (1967)_ (qv), this helped to bring about the end of  the Production Code and its replacement with a ratings system.
