Russ Meyer was reportedly so disappointed about the size of Anouska Hempel's chest that he edited footage of larger breasts into her nude scenes, though it is her butt shown in the film. When asked about it, Meyer told the News of the World, "Hempel? Tiny tits and a big mouth. We had a stand-in for the tits and wouldn't let her speak."
Director Russ Meyer stated in an interview that this film was his "statement" film against racial bigotry.
In 1998 Anouska Hempel, who became an aristocrat by marrying insurance tycoon Sir Mark Weinberg, bought the UK rights to Tiffany Jones (1973) and this film in order to keep her embarrassing nude scenes out of circulation. This effectively blocked any future UK television screenings or video releases.
Anouska Hempel appeared nude in two films in 1973, this and Tiffany Jones. She never performed nude again.
