Emmanuelle (1974) Trivia.txt
Emmanuelle (1974) Trivia - IMDb
This is a relatively rare example of an X-rated, erotic movie released in the USA by a major movie distributor (Columbia Pictures). Apparently, this came about because the movie had been particularly popular in France among women. The company reasoned that the movie would not be regarded as pornographic as long as women liked it.
Some of this film's score stole King Crimson's tune called "Larks' Tongues In Aspic, Part 2", which was composed by the band's leader Robert Fripp. A lawsuit ensued and was settled out of court.
The film was originally denied permits to film in Thailand, in part due to its sexual content. The filmmakers only managed to do so by presenting an earlier, family-oriented version of the script they had no intention of shooting, and later pretending that they were merely shooting a documentary film of the local sites.
Star Sylvia Kristel was apparently fairly unhappy that she was not approached regarding the English-language dub of the film, as she herself spoke fluent English and felt she was capable of doing the job herself.
Ended its run at the Paris Triomphe cinema, on the Champs-Elysées, on February 6th 1985, which had been shown here since its June 1974 release.
Rochelle Rochelle, a fictional film that is constantly referenced as a running gag in Seinfeld (1989), was inspired by this film.
The character Marie-Ange masturbates in front of a shocked Emmanuelle while watching a large photo of Paul Newman in a magazine.
French director François Truffaut was reportedly consulted over - and approved of - the choice of Sylvia Kristel for the title role.
In 2007 Lily Allen used samples of this movie's theme in her song "Littlest Things".
First and original 'Emmanuelle' movie of the official 'Emmanuelle' series.
