Paramount attempted to have all copies destroyed when they bought the rights to the story in order to remake it as Atracción fatal (1987), but some copies survived.
Paramount producers Stanley Jaffe and Sherry Lansing paid GTO Films £5,000 for every print of the film, then burnt all 60 copies so as not to draw attention from their big-budget Hollywood remake Fatal Attraction (1987). GTO Films' boss Laurence Myers said "Paramount must have been worried that their £8million version didn't look that much better than my £30,000 short. I've never known anything like this happen before".
