 The film was initially refused a UK certificate by the BBFC owing to  shots of pubic hair, though the distributor himself partly ruined  its chances by ignoring the films creative aspects and instead  telling censor John Trevelyan (qv) "I am sending you a film with a  few tits in it. I dont think much of it but I can sell it to the  sex theaters". It was eventually passed with minor cuts in 1969 and  released fully uncut on video in 1996.
