Trivia

Sex scenes were filmed and added to the 1962 Isabel Sarli film originally made by Leopoldo Torre Nilsson for release in the U.S. by Cambist Films. A Director credit of 'Leo Towers' appears on-screen as a pseudonym as a result.

Released and distributed in the United States as "The Female", the film received a lot of legal scrutiny in the US. Copies of the film were seized in theaters in summer of 1968 by local law enforcement resulting in legal cases with the state of Illinois, and Pennsylvania among others. The Earliest seizure was in Bell County Kentucky, where the film was shown in a theater in the town of Middlesboro. Writer William S. Tribell's great uncle, and namesake was District Attorney at the time, resulting in Cambist Films, Inc. v. Tribell, 293 F. Supp. 407 (E.D. Ky. 1968). Cambist lost all their suits, even taking a Western Pennsylvania case to the supreme court again in 1973 to no avail.

Isabel Sarli made films for director and lover Armando Bo where she performed nude. But people started saying that he was a pornographer who only cared about money, and that that was the only reason he included nude scenes in all his films. Sarli defended him saying that wasn't the case. On the other hand, director Fernando Torre Nilsson was considered an artist and all his films ended up at the best film festivals, even though they also included nudity. When Nilsson asked Sarli to star in this film, she agreed but refused to be nude. But, after the film was released, people complained that Sarli wasn't naked. Concerned that would hurt ticket sales, distributors in New York demanded nudity be added. Instead of asking Sarli to film new footage, Nilsson hired a body double and filmed her nude without showing her face. He then added that footage to make it seem like Sarli was naked. When Sarli found out, she was mortified. She sought the help of a lawyer but the courts ruled against her because she had already been cast in other films where she agreed to be nude, so they said this film hadn't tarnished her good name.

Actress Isabel Sarli was dedicated to working only with director (and her romantic partner) Armando Bo, but when Bo decided to make a movie about soccer, there wasn't a role for her. So she agreed to make this movie.
