    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      A subplot involving a wounded seagull affected Barbara Hershey sufficiently for her to change her surname to Seagull for a couple of years.
    • Goofs
      After the guys meet Sandy, when they take the thing out of the bird's beak, Sandy's hair changes its position considerably between takes.
    • Quotes

      Sandy: What are you going to do with the rest of your life? Sit on the shore and watch?

    • Crazy credits
      There are no opening credits beyond the noting of the film's producer (Emanuel L/Wolf) and distributor (Allied Artists). The film's title, cast, and production credits only appear at the end.
    • Alternate versions
      Originally rated X when it was first released in 1969. Cuts were later made to a graphic rape scene at the end of the film, and the MPAA gave it a R-rating. This latter version is the only one currently available on video.

      Featured in Indie Sex: Teens (2007)

    A shocking conclusion.
    You must see it uncut for the full effect. The conclusion at the beach is the whole point of the film, as Evan Hunter points out in his interview in "The Writer". I was agast the first time I saw it on commercial TV (late night).
