In the last scene was that anal with Bo?


It seems to me that what was going on with the guy she was having sex with.I'm I right about this drop a line if you know

No--it was faked. Years after the movie crashed and burned director John Derek admitted that the studio made up that rumor to "sell" the movie. It didn't work.

John Derek -- what a classy guy. Have you ever read the interview in PLAYBOY at the time this came out? They guy was an idiot. I can still remember my brother, no prude, saying at the time we watched this bomb, "How could a man let his wife do that onscreen?" A pig! Both of them.

I don't think he was an idiot. Scum yes but not an idiot. He knew how to exploit his wifes beauty and milked it for every cent it was worth. I agree--how could ANY man film his wife nude and going at it with other men (even though it was just simulated)? Bo herself is an utter moron for letting this guy use her. I remember seeing the Barbara Walters interview with Bo and John. She came across as a total space cadet and he came across as controlling, pompous and boring. I can only imagine how he came across in a "Playboy" interview! What staggers the imagination was how he kept getting money to actually fund this movie and the others that showcased his wifes utter lack of acting ability. I'm ashamed to admit I saw this in 1984 at a theatre. It was mostly out of curiosity (it was unrated--meaning X--back then) and a bunch of my friends (all guys of course) wanted to see it. We made it through (somehow) but walked (actually staggered) out of the theatre exhausted (from trying NOT to fall asleep), pissed off (that we had wasted good money on this) and just disgusted with the way Derek used his wife. He passed away quite a few years ago. Good riddance!

No but I understand the confusion. The movie was anal not (just) the final scene. Really anal and not simulated. In the film Bo's virginity was simulated, however.

John Derek was Ed Wood with a budget.

Possibly john enjoyed seeing her that way, who knows. Different strokes....
