- TriviaThe film was refused a UK theatrical certificate in 1970. It was finally passed fully uncut for DVD in 2016.
- GoofsEnglish version? This is one of the worst examples of a supposed English version of an Italian film slipping constantly into untranslated Italian dialogue, no subtitles.
- Quotes
Ulla: Aldo, what's wrong with Tony?
Aldo: Nothing! He's a normal boy. That's the trouble. At his age he should be a normal man. Mudy's tried everything she can. Some of the doctors say they could operate, but Mudy's afraid they'll kill the boy. We thought maybe with a woman like you he might wake up...
Ulla: Yes, but why does he look at me like that?
Aldo: So many dumb questions. How would I know?
Ulla: Mudy revolts me too. Why is she always so mad? How much is she giving you and Paola?
Aldo: I don't know. Are we making love or asking 20 stupid ass goddam questions?
Ulla: Why can't we do both?
[laughs as Aldo kisses her and they sink to the floor]
- Alternate versionsThere is an English version in which the opening titles are cast over scenes of Aldo and Paola cavorting about the yacht. Otherwise the background for the credits is a plain blue screen.

This hugely daft pile of crazy nonsense called Top Sensation is yet another giallo set on a boat where the female cast lounge around in tiny bikinis. The entire plot of this one seems to be set around getting shy, possibly autistic son of an oil heiress laid to make him a man, but he just wants to play with his toy racing car (that's not a euphemism). Neri and her husband have hired Fenech to do the job but nothing's getting him interested.
Also, the heiress has CCTV in her boat so she can watch folks getting it on, but then Neri's husband can watch her getting it on with Neri (and he gets it on with Fenech). It's a sixties film. They probably all had crabs.
The boat of course crashes on a sandbank and that's when our mob of nymphs find a local goat herder, a lucky goat, and the goat herder's wife, who raises the interest of the heiress's son! It's about this time when Fenech makes a remark about how rough a goat's tongue is...Plus, they have to get that lady herder spruced up for the strange son...and Rosalba needs some sun cream rubbed on her chest...
Of course, this not being a hardcore porn film everything is implied and there's very little by way of nudity, and the plot kind of deviates away from all the sleaze (save for the last five minutes). It's an enjoyable film, not least due to the strange story and the actresses involved, and for a film involving murder, it's all so light hearted.
I wonder if Edwidge's grandkids have ever watched this one? And I also wonder if the subsequently made it illegal for Fenech and Neri to star in the same film (or put the moves on another woman at the same time - my blood pressure!).
