Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Produced during the brief 'British New Wave' collapse into permissive cinema, this was Irvin's student film that somehow got theatrical release—sparking censorship battles for its frank depiction of unmarried sex.
Hassall's career tragically stalled after this; she became a 'sex symbol' unable to escape nude scenes, while Latimer quietly exited acting entirely—making this their most honest performance precisely because they had nothing left to lose.
