Storyline

- 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.
- ConnectionsFeatured in Gelegenheit macht Triebe (2013)
The film could be accurately called seven loonies on a boat. Mudy is a rich, decadent bi-sexual on a private cruise. Her yacht is staffed by an ambitious, morally dubious couple, both of whom are sleeping with the boss. In addition, there is a hired companion (the lovely Edwige Fenech) along to seduce the boss's son. The young man suffers from a mental illness which makes him act like a child. In 70's swinger psychology, mom thinks getting him laid will turn him into a man. The only thing is that boy won't come near his girl toy (turning down Edwige Fenech? The poor boy is worse than I thought!). When the yacht runs aground on a sandbar, the son sneaks off to explore a nearby island. There, he befriends a young, innocent shepherdess. Mom and company are thinking the girl might be good at tending something besides sheep, but what to do with her husband?
This is a silly film, but one that is hard to dislike. It moves along at a nice pace. The viewer is never bored. There is a pleasant music score. The scenery is gorgeous and so are the girls. Edwige Fenech, Rosalba Neri, and Eva Thulin all radiate charm in their bikinis (and occasionally less). In addition, once in a while director Ottavio Alessi will go for an arty touch just because (check out the editing on the scene where the two more experienced girls make up the shepherdess). As nautical themed sex dramas go, Top Sensation is far more fun than Roman Polanski's Bitter Moon.
