Montreal Gazette, July 4, 1970.
The cast also includes Linda Henry, Beverly Light, Julie Wildman and Sven Jurshevski.
According to producer John Roston, the film "strikes a peculiar balance between seriousness and comedy. It's not heavy romance but it's not really light fare either. There's a lot of sex in it, but it's not a sexploitation film. Most films made in Canada are either sex films or 'art' films. This one is a marriage of the two."
The film was entered in competition at the 22nd Canadian Film Awards in 1970.Betty Lee, "Fourteen films in the running for Etrog's golden approval". The Globe and Mail, September 19, 1970.
