Its not a skin flick by any standards! Not worth watching even otherwise. Its a waste of time and money. See the amazon dvd reviews for this, the picture quality problem is also there as in the dvds. (not that better picture quality would have made it worthwhile)

This boxed disk was very well marketed, with a nice picture of Catherine Bach on the cover(which sadly you don't see in the film). The film's only redeeming feature I think is that you catch the only semi nude glimpse of this firm young actress who aspires to every young Petrol Head's fantasy as "Daisy Duke".
Feel free to make me an offer........ She comes cheap.

The plot is hard enough to understand without the low grade cinematography and sound (perhaps a result of several generations lost?). It seems that Leslie Caron, playing Nicole in the originally eponymous movie is an unstable, though wealthy and successful widow (a Dance Instructor more for a time-filler than eceonomic necessity) about in her late 30s/early 40s, who enjoys living out fantasties by manipulating anyone from an apparent runaway with cool looking jeans, to a cool looking Used Car Salesman, another character of means and a day job just for fun money. Catherine Bach (Kathy Bach in this c. 1972 to 1978 deal) is a beautiful Dance student who bears a remarkable resemblance to Nicole, who is so intriqued that she pays for plastic surgery to make the similiarity that much more pronounced.
It appears that Nicole is bisexual and actually has a perverse interest in Sue, on that basis! (Not clear on that one, folks).
The disturbed socialite has a violent counterpart, a Chauffer who was involved in a double homicide, and then adds to that list through a misunderstood communique from Caron.
Many characters pop in and out in this strange movie. Seems stranger that Leslie Caron would actually participate, but she is very strong throughout; has some terrific close-ups.
Regarding the advertised naughty business, it's handled alot more sensitively than one might imagine.
Sue, played by Catherine B., who had to undergo a makeover through surgery in this flick; the flick itself could use a technical makeover; some deleted material maybe re-inserted for continuity purposes.

Awful looking photography. I did not enjoy watching this film because the picture was so faded. Hopefully they will redo this DVD some day.
