Production

Release
Super Bitch was released in Italy on 3 May 1973 where it was distributed by Medusa.[1] It grossed a total of 353,341,000 lire on its theatrical run in Italy.[1] It was initially released in the United Kingdom under the title Blue Movie Blackmail where it was distributed by Hemdale.[1][3] The English-language version of the film gave more emphasis to Stephanie Beachams' nude scenes than the thriller plot.[1]
Reception
In a contemporary review, the Monthly Film Bulletin described the film as "a competently, impersonally handled thriller fantasy" and "mere competence can do little to unify this kind of mongrel co-production, or to pump much life into its derivative synthetics"[3]
