Sex scenes were filmed and added to the 1962 Isabel Sarli film originally made by Leopoldo Torre Nilsson for release in the U.S. by Cambist Films. A Director credit of 'Leo Towers' appears on-screen as a pseudonym as a result.
Released and distributed in the United States as "The Female", the film received a lot of legal scrutiny in the US. Copies of the film were seized in theaters in summer of 1968 by local law enforcement resulting in legal cases with the state of Illinois, and Pennsylvania among others. The Earliest seizure was in Bell County Kentucky, where the film was shown in a theater in the town of Middlesboro. Writer William S. Tribell's great uncle, and namesake was District Attorney at the time, resulting in Cambist Films, Inc. v. Tribell, 293 F. Supp. 407 (E.D. Ky. 1968). Cambist lost all their suits, even taking a Western Pennsylvania case to the supreme court again in 1973 to no avail.
