Release

[edit]

The film had a wide release in cinemas and made $1,220,000 in rentals in North America.[1]

Variety magazine said the film "probably offers more sex per celluloid foot than any such feature to date, but the emphasis here is really on making the audience laugh. Overall effect is much like a pornographic version of Laugh-In."[2]
