Newly-married Rebecca leaves her husband's Alsatian bed on her prized motorbike - symbol of freedom and escape - to visit her lover in Heidelberg. En route she indulges in psychedelic reveries as she relives her changing relationship with the two men.
A German woman who was a Playboy centerfold was originally cast as Rebecca, but was let go after she had a drug overdose. Marianne Faithfull was subsequently cast in the lead.
Marianne Faithfull's gift motorcycle is a Harley Davidson Electra Glide; Alain Delon rides a 750cc Norton Atlas.
This was the first film to receive an 'X' rating from the MPAA in the United States.
The title character of the film, Rebecca, was inspired by a real-life 'girl on a motorcycle', the German racer Anke Eve Goldmann, a friend of the book's author, Andre Peyre Mandiargues. Goldmann designed her own one-piece leather riding suit in the early 1950s, and cut an amazing figure riding her BMWs in the 50s and '60s.
Billy Ivy, 1942-1969, was the stand-in motorcycle rider for the medium to long shots, presumably wearing a blond wig.
"Rebecca: Rebellion is the only thing that keeps you alive!"
"Rebecca: So cunning to buy me a motorbike for a wedding present. How else would I get here to you. [kisses Daniel] Daniel: I didn't expect you so soon, after only two weeks. Rebecca: It's ten days. Daniel: Poor Raymond. Rebecca: Do you know what he said ? "Why did one of your father's friends buy you such an impractical present ?" [laughs]"
