OverviewFantasies was filmed and produced on an extremely low budget in Greece in 1974. Filming lasted just over ten days. However, the film was not released until 1981, two years after Bo Derek had already become a movie fantasy girl and international star after her breakthrough performance in the comedy 10 (1979). Director Derek and the underage Collins began a romantic affair during filming, leading to the dissolution of his marriage to then-wife Linda Evans. Derek wed Collins on June 10, 1976, after which she became internationally known as Bo Derek. Originally titled Once Upon a Love, producer Kevin Castleman had the unreleased film re-edited and added a new soundtrack with vocals and lyrics by Tony Award nominee Walter Willison and music by Jeffrey Silverman, and released it in the US with the new title Fantasies. The film found greater success around the world, released under various titles, including the original Once Upon a Love in the UK, and Femme'' in France. Plot
