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."[2]
The film was entered in competition at the 22nd Canadian Film Awards in 1970.[3]
