    • Trivia
      First mainstream appearance, though uncredited, by future Scream Queen Michelle Bauer. Before and after this she was making porn films under the name Pia Snow.
    • Alternate versions
      After the success of films such as My Tutor (1983) and Private Lessons (1981), and Joan Collins renewed popularity after her appearance in Dynasty (1981), this 1979 film was re-worked with additional scenes and a misleading advertising campaign. The new scenes featured an unconvincing nude double for Collins' in scenes of her character seducing a youth, and the film promoted as an older-woman seduction story. A billboard showing a concealed nude image of Collins greatly angered the actress.

    Loved it!
    It wasn't perfect, and that's why it's so cool. Lots of emotion, and you can tell it's from a true story. And catch Betty Thomas! I saw it on Showtime a long time ago but I just rented it and it really brought back memories. Joan Collins' role is short but bitchin.
