Cast

US release

After 5 years, the film was picked up for distribution in the United States by Cambist Films. They re-edited the film and gave it a new name The Female with the director listed as Leo Towers. Sarli had refused to do nudity for this film, as she considered Torres Nilsson an "intellectual" director. But when the film was released in the US, scenes with a Sarli body double appeared nude. Sarli started a lawsuit against the distributors, but ended up losing since she continued to do nudes and did not damage her image. The film opened at Prudential's Tower Art in Milwaukee at Christmas 1967.

Reception

The film was one of the highest-grossing "sex art" films in the United States.
