Did You Know?
| Trivia | The day before the film's premiere, it was reported that Joan Collins, Betty Thomas, Carrie Snodgress, and Lee Purcell had all taken legal action to get their names removed from the credits. Collins claimed that the film's advertising was misleading because she had only performed in a minor supporting role shot two years earlier, but a sex scene had been added afterward using a body double to cash in on her new celebrity status from the hit TV show Dynasty (1981). The other three performers claimed they had been under a false impression about the kind of film they were making. Collins' attorneys won a partial victory when a federal court ordered Jensen Farley Pictures to stop using ads that depicted Collins nude. See more » |
