Get a few things 'straight'
5 September 2001 | by (Sydney, Australia) – See all my reviews

On its initial release in the USA this film had an X rating and all of the sex scenes were cut completely. They were not restored until quite recently. As well, the film was financed through Britain and not Hollywood so it did not come under the auspices of the then draconian Production Code, so it could be more graphic and realistic. Cheers.
