Tagline

The film was advertised as follows: "Two shipwrecked castaways discover the island they have landed on is shared by three beautiful women living alone."

Premise and controversy

The 'island girls' decide to fatten up one of the men as a future store of food and use the other for menial tasks. The method of killing Charles for the feast is for Deborah to have sex with him until he dies. This caused some controversy and a review wrote " "In France this will be regarded as Art. Everywhere else will regard it as almost hard-core pornography."

Production

The film was shot in Sierra Leone.

Reception

The film "despite its title, largely spares the audience the physical details of cannibalism." It has been considered a variation on the theme of the Amazons.
