What's left behind the scenes
- Martha Reeves had no idea it was an adult film until she arrived at the screening with her fellow female parishioners.
- The first role for Linnee Quigley, who had previously only appeared on screen as an extra. When later asked if it was difficult to appear completely naked on set, the actress replied that at first, upon learning what was expected of her, she "nearly died." Once filming began, she performed in front of the camera confidently and without embarrassment. It turned out that Quigley's father was a doctor, and she had learned to view nudity calmly. The actress also mentioned that she only found out later that she could have requested a closed set, meaning she had spent several hours acting naked in front of the entire crew.
