Interesting facts

The Sweet Body of Deborah is a 1968 giallo film directed by Romolo Guerrieri and starring Carroll Baker and Jean Sorel. It was written by Ernesto Gastaldi based on a story by Gastaldi and producer Luciano Martino.

Production

In the mid-1960s, Carroll Baker was marked as being a sex symbol following her posing in Playboy magazine. She was then fired by Paramount, separated from her husband Jack Garfein and moved to Europe to continue her career. Baker was popular in Italy, where film audiences were still fond of her from performances in films like Baby Doll (1956), a film that was initially banned in Italy.

Screenwriter Ernesto Gastaldi was adamant that Rondi was not involved at all in the pre-production of The Sweet Body of Deborah and the script at Rome's CSC archives only have it signed by Gastaldi and Luciano Martino as authors of the scenario and Gastaldi alone as the screenwriter. The new director Romolo Guerrieri stated he did not like the script, predominantly due to its erotic contents.
