What's left behind the scenes

  • The original version of the film was 107 minutes long but did not pass the approval of Swedish film censors, who banned it from screening on April 4, 1973. Despite the film being advertised as the first ever banned in Sweden, such a precedent already existed. At the dawn of cinema, in 1912, the screening of the then-silent film "The Gardener" was also prohibited.
  • To gain the approval of the censors, the film was re-edited and reduced to 104 minutes, and then to 86, but the result remained the same. The film, cut down to 82 minutes, was approved for release and premiered in that form.
  • Kristina Lindberg did not have a driver's license, but she operated the car herself with the help of a police officer lying on the floor and controlling the levers.
  • Director Bo Arne Vibelius filmed the movie under the pseudonym Alex Fridolinski. The actors' contracts specifically stipulated that they were not allowed to reveal the director's real name.
  • Director Bo Arne Vibelius appears as a hot dog vendor pointing Madeline in the direction of the dock.
  • During pre-production, Kristina Lindberg practiced shooting firearms outdoors and was detained by the police following a complaint from passersby who believed she was shooting at them.
  • In the most explicit sexual scenes, a body double was used instead of Kristina Lindberg.
  • In 1974, the film was banned from release by the British Board of Film Censors.
  • For many years, a rumor circulated that a real corpse was used in the scene where Madeleine's eye is pierced with a scalpel. In her March 2006 interview, Kristina Lindberg confirmed this, stating that the scene was shot with the body of a young woman who had committed suicide in one of Stockholm's hospitals.
