It was initially released in the United Kingdom under the title 'Blue Movie Blackmail' where it was distributed by Hemdale.

Reception



In a contemporary review, the 'Monthly Film Bulletin' described the film as "a competently, impersonally handled thriller fantasy" and "mere competence can do little to unify this kind of mongrel co-production, or to pump much life into its derivative synthetics".
