This low budget sex-exploitation film was unusual in many different ways. For starters the budget couldn't get any lower with just four actors running around a desert island. On the other hand these four actors are not the usual no-name individuals common in so many of these sex campers. Here you are dealing with three ladies which had already established themselves as serious actors in European and Hollywood films (Rosana Podesta, Dawn Addams, Magali Noel) and a young stud who had appeared in several respectable classics and would later become an accomplished director...Christian Marquand.
I saw this film when I was a totally innocent 13 year-old and it made quite a dent on me. I have not seen it again but it remains forever in my mind. It woke me up to sex and its power on human beings. It also taught me that things about sex are not always black and white. Gray prevails. Of course, of the quartet, only Magali Noel plays the sex-crazed lunatic and this was an inspired casting. Noel in any film role always has that decadent insane look on her beautiful eyes and that is probably why she showed up in so many Fellini movies later on. In any event, those three ladies are a sight with those scanty beach outfits and there's a definite amount of suspense in their relationships with the only man in town.
It'd be nice if this film ever makes it to home video. I, for one, would like to see how the movie holds up in time and if it was really the source of so many fantasies one experienced in those early days.
