Reception

The magazine Barred gave the film a positive review, saying:

Swedish sexsational movie “Моrianna" is packed with nice juicy lovemaking scenes. The tale revolves around a Paul Getty-type millionaire and a troupe of hangers-on. The old gent is always threatening to disinherit the whole bunch. His wife by a late marriage is only 40 and of course has a lover! The top star in this flick is Danish sexpot “Lotte Tarp,” who plays the role of a very erotic maid. The story is a thriller, with just enough sex thrown in.
