Note that the posters for this movie give the impression that the movie shows a lot of naked people writhing in agony in Hell! Looking at stills from the movie, it is obvious that the men wore tight flesh-colored shorts, and that the women wore tight bodysuits, but I imagine the movie was still shocking for its time!
