## Reception

The film attracted little attention outside the 1975 London Film Festival and its limited theatrical release in the UK.

Boyd had hoped to interest British Lion in the film as a 'British Emanuelle' but in the event they backed out, branding it as 'very specialised fare', although Michael Deeley did lend Boyd £500 to take it to the States and tart it around as his 'calling card'. However Time Out (New York) slated it thus

   Surely the worst film of the year ... no amount of special pleading, bonhomie towards experiment, or explanation of motive can hide the fact that the result is like a synthesis of every bad detail of every bad undergraduate film you've ever seen.
