In a 2018 interview, Olivia Hussey said that she felt at ease on set filming her first ever nude scene. "I think because it was done very tastefully. And in Europe, it was very different. In America, it was very taboo. But in Europe a lot of the films had nudity. Nobody really thought much of it. But it was just the fact that I was 16 that got a lot of publicity. The large crew we worked with was whittled down to only the very basic people, a handful of people. It was done later in the day when it wasn't busy. It was a closed set. And we shot it at the very end of the film. So by that time, we've all become a big family. It wasn't that big of a deal. And Leonard Whiting wasn't shy at all! In the middle of shooting, I just completely forgot I didn't have clothes on." Hussey and Whiting would later change their mind though, when they sued the studio in 2022 for sexually exploiting and distributing nude pictures of them as adolescents, which they claimed caused them emotional distress and damaged their later careers.
