Trivia
Performing nude and in sex scenes was very difficult for Laura Gemser. She had posed nude for photographers before getting into films, but that was difficult too. She said posing for photos was awkward enough, but it was usually just one photographer and an assistant. Suddenly, she started doing movies and had to strip naked and pretend to have sex with other actors for hours while a large production crew watched "with their tongues hanging out." At first it traumatized her, but she forced herself to do it because it was her job and required of her. She ended up spending her career naked and having sex in most of her films and said she never got used to it.

Emmanuelle when she was still called Janine

A young engineer (Enzo Bottesini) arrives on a beautiful tropical island. Soon he is seduced by the gracious Laura Gemser (24 years old at the time). Actually there is not much more in this movie. We see the usual bunch of touristic pictures of the bounty island and well photographed pictures of Gemser. This by the way is her debut movie. And the weird thing is, this movie is almost identical to all movies she made later being "Black Emmanuelle". This is even extremely close to "La Spiaggia del desiderio" , the third Emmanuella negra film. The English titles confirm this: " Taboo Island" and "A Beach Called Desire". The only differences are the higher pace of this movie, the fact it looks like the budget was lower for this one and Emmanuelle is called Janine here. The title may suggest there is a lot of sex in this movie, but there is surprisingly little of it and the scenes are much shorter than to be expected. This movie is quite dull by today's standards. The only reason you would have for wanting to see it, is Gemser in her first movie (if you are a fan of hers). Not too bad a movie, but quite boring. I rate it 4 out of 10.
