In the USA, the film was originally released uncut, with an X rating. However, a more commercial rating was preferred and the film was reissued with an R rating after scenes of male frontal nudity were removed from the shower scenes.
In the UK, the BBFC requested that scenes of male and female frontal nudity be removed from the film in order to pass with an X certificate. The director removed the male frontals however, he negotiated with the BBFC and the female frontal nudity of a woman walking down a hallway was allowed.
Paramount hopping to take advantage of the lucrative teen market cut the film further in 1971 for the U.K. in order for the BBFC to grant the film the then recently created 'AA' certificate (No one under 14). This version used the 'X' certificate version approved in 1968 with a extra cut to a glimpse of Christine Noonan's pubic hair in the coffee shop scene.
