TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Just like Personal Services (1987), the previous film from writer David Leland, this project was inspired by the real life figure, Cynthia Payne. This film focuses on her childhood growing up in Sussex while the other dealt with her adulthood.

Debut film and television performance of actress Emily Lloyd.

Lynda Mansell (Emily Lloyd) favorite catchphrase was "Up Your Bum!".

Emily Lloyd was 16 years old when she appeared in this movie. She recalls they gave her a synopsis for the audition: "sexually precocious". "So my mother put me in a black leather skirt and a tight blue crocheted top. The casting director took one glance at me and said: 'You look like jailbait. Go home and get changed.' Then she said: 'But come back.' I blushed and returned in jeans." she says.

Debut cinema movie directed by actor-writer David Leland.
