C’est bien la reprise de « Willow’s Song ». Quant à l’anecdote sur Rod Stewart, elle est mentionnée très souvent quand on évoque le film, mais ça n’a jamais été prouvé.
Voici d’ailleurs ce qu’en dit Robin Hardy dans une interview :
There were rumors that Rod Stewart (Britt Ekland’s boyfriend at the time) tried to buy the negative of the film, because he wasn’t happy with her nude scene. Is that true?
I don’t believe that. I absolutely don’t believe that. Why on earth would he? If Rod Stewart had been living in the 1860s he might have worried about it but it was a perfectly normal piece of nudity that she appears in. Thousands of serious actresses have done scenes of erotic nature, and it’s extremely unlikely that Rod Stewart would have been shocked.
