Trivia

In a 2008 interview director Robin Hardy said it wasn't Jane Jackson or Lorraine Peters (regardless of musical director Gary Carpenter's claim) who they filmed nude from the back during Britt Ekland's infamous naked dance scene (since Ekland appeared topless but didn't want to show her rear), it was a stripper he hired in Glasgow, Scotland that vaguely resembled Ekland. He said "We had to find someone rather quickly. The girl we found in a club was promised back the next day to the place she was performing. To my distress I discovered she was still with the crew, having a good time, two weeks later." Ekland said in an interview on BBC1's Friday Night With Jonathan Ross that that's the story she heard too: "I didn't want to show my bottom but I shot myself in the foot. They put in the ugliest, biggest bottom in the world. Mine was much smaller and much nicer. I recently found out it was a stripper from Glasgow." Ekland said she was less than pleased with her body double and wished she had felt confident enough to bare all. She confirmed that she was pregnant during the shoot with son Nicholai, but denied long-standing rumours that this was the real reason she refused to strip, claiming she did not know she was pregnant at the time.
