Argentine firecracker Isabel Sarli and her Svengali, director Armando Bo, had already collaborated on eleven features when this 1966 black and white dermatological drama - which would make a dandy double bill for L'Avventura - appeared to further ignite the charges of obscenity they'd faced since 1957's brutal El trueno entre las hojas featuring a fully nude Sarli. The film was promptly banned at home but made international waves due to The Goddess' combustible carnality, leading to global attention for the pair's subsequent films such as Muhair (1967), Carne (1968), and Fuego (1969).
