Sherwood said everyone hated the rape scene except Winner

Robin Sherwood was unhappy with the way her rape scene was presented.

She said in an interview, “Michael Winner made his point, and he did it well, and then he took it to this level that was very graphic. It just went too far, it was gratuitous. I really was upset about it and Charlie [Bronson] was pretty upset about it, too. [He felt] it was too graphic. We were at a restaurant and [the distributor was] saying that they wanted to really cut down the rape scene for an American audience and Michael Winner was very upset about it. He said [to me], 'This is really going to limit your role.' But, quite frankly, I could have done with much, much less. But as an actress, I had no control over that."
