Curiosidades

Oasis of Fear is a 1971 giallo film directed and co-written by Umberto Lenzi, and starring Irene Papas, Ray Lovelock and Ornella Muti.

Production

The film was developed under the title Stress. Producer Carlo Ponti liked director Umberto Lenzi's previous films like Orgasmo. Lenzi's contract with Ponti was about to expire and he would lose money so Lenzi hastily devised a story which borrowed themes from Orgasmo with some road movie elements.

Ponti initially wanted Carrol Baker to be in the film, as she had in previous thrillers from Lenzi, while Lenzi wanted American soprano Anna Moffo. Moffo backed out on the film a few days before shooting and was replaced by Ponti with Irene Papas who Lenzi felt was not appropriate for the role. Lenzi said he had trouble getting actress Irene Papas to participate in the threesome scene that takes place in the film.

Lead actor Ray Lovelock sings a song called "How Can You Live Your Life?" over the opening titles, accompanied by a sitar; a song that reoccurs throughout the film in different versions, supposedly with the purpose of trying to capture the "feel" of the 1960s hippie scene.
