Edwige Fenech admitted in a 1970 interview that being naked in this film helped her career. "I realise it's not a good film, but I also know that doing the role helped me a great deal in that it introduced me to the public by exploiting what I had to offer physically. All in all, I owe a lot of my present success to it"
Edwige Fenech was asked during an interview in 1970 after this film was released if she ever felt embarrassed about getting undressed on the set? She said "Oh, it's terrible. Especially the first times on the early films. I didn't know how to behave and I was frightfully ashamed. Then I resigned myself to it, rather I got used to it, after all these are things you have to do in the movies whether you like it or not. The public demands it. Certainly it's never pleasant to disrobe in front of so many technicians and fellow actors. I always have the feeling, when I get dressed again, that they are still looking at me as if I had nothing on. And I don't even want to talk about what happens in the theatres where they show my pictures. I went to see MADAME BOVARY again in a first run film theatre, and I turned as red as a beet when I saw myself naked on the screen. Meanwhile the audience began to get noisy and exchange unprintable remarks."
