    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      This is a relatively rare example of an X-rated, erotic movie released in the USA by a major movie distributor, co0050868. Apparently, this came about because the movie had been particularly popular in France among women. The company reasoned that the movie would not be regarded as pornographic as long as women liked it.
    • Goofs
      (at around 1 min) When Emmanuelle is on the plane, she closes the blind fully and curls up. A fellow passenger sits down and embraces her. In addition to the high spotlight on her cleavage, there's a bright light coming from the direction of said covered window.
    • Quotes
      • Mario: Making love is not important, its the way you make love.
    • Alternate versions
      The dubbed U.S. version was originally rated X in 1974. An alternate, R-rated version was released later in 1974, having trimmed or removed all the more explicit sex scenes. In 1984, the uncut version was re-released in the U.S. with an X rating. That version is currently available unrated on video.
