Aftermath
In 2014, on season two of the show Orly and Guy Come Back With an Answer (אורלי וגיא חוזרים עם תשובה), suspicions were raised that during the production of the movie there had been abuses and sexual harassment against actresses.[2]
In 2000 Rami Meiri drew a series of graffiti as a tribute to the film, but in 2020 they were removed by city authorities following the protests of feminist activists.[3]
