Interesting facts

Cherry, Harry & Raquel! is a 1969 American action comedy and exploitation film, produced and directed by American film director Russ Meyer. The plot involves the smuggling of marijuana, and the attraction between a female writer and an English nurse.

Production

Roger Ebert claimed that after filming was completed, the De Luxe color lab inadvertently destroyed a fourth of Meyer's footage, requiring Meyer to shoot new scenes. He hired Uschi to appear in some new footage as an Indian and intercut it with the existing footage.

Meyer denied that the lab lost footage but admitted to shooting new sequences. He recalled "one of the leading ladies couldn't stand the rigors of Panamint Valley [the location of the film]. She had a couple of pomeranians, and she would lock them inside all day, and they would just devastate the room.

The film had to be reshot. "The picture's better because of her leaving," said Meyer. "We had to really reach for another ending. She went and you just never saw her again."
