Hausaufgaben

The day before the film's premiere, it was reported that Joan Collins, Betty Thomas, Carrie Snodgress, and Lee Purcell had all taken legal action to get their names removed from the credits. Collins claimed that the film's advertising was misleading because she had only performed in a minor supporting role shot two years earlier, but a sex scene had been added afterward using a body double to cash in on her new celebrity status from the hit TV show Der Denver-Clan (1981). The other three performers claimed they had been under a false impression about the kind of film they were making. Collins' attorneys won a partial victory when a federal court ordered Jensen Farley Pictures to stop using ads that depicted Collins nude.

After the success of films such as Die Klassenfete (1983) and Privatunterricht (1981), and Joan Collins renewed popularity after her appearance in Der Denver-Clan (1981), this 1979 film was re-worked with additional scenes and a misleading advertising campaign. The new scenes featured an unconvincing nude double for Collins' in scenes of her character seducing a youth, and the film promoted as an older-woman seduction story. A billboard showing a concealed nude image of Collins greatly angered the actress.
