Historical Context
I hate people bumping a thread without posting something but I make an exception here. Thank you for posting this as I have been after this for years. This piece of film has a special place in history as it was originally refused a British Board Of Film Censorship (as it was called in 1967) certificate and I remember an art house cinema in Glasgow showed it uncut (in 1968) and it caused a debate in the press about whether or not full frontal nudity could or should be shown in the cinema. Eventually it was passed and within a year we started getting lots of fully naked women on UK screens so this has a lot to answer for. Looking at it now it seems so innocent but at long last I got to see what everyone was arguing about.
