The whole point is that those involved were pretending it was a French production to avoid the tax on imported films. It was a Swedish film.
The only well-known French face is Dom Pat as far as I can see, though Feher used a much larger well-known French cast in some of his other titles.

The other thing is that the version shown in France in that summer of 1982
was according to La Revue du Cinema the "soft core version". Most likely to
avoid further punishing taxes becaus at the time the French government was trying to
curb X-rated product in Paris/Francis by overtaxing porn, Mainstream producers and
exhibitors chafed at the fact audiences were flocking to see porn films rather their
tamer/mainstream fare. And the government ever protective of mainstream cinema was only
too eager to oblige.
By the early 1980's, Dorcel (VMD) and others were quickly moving to video releases to avoid
the heavy taxes on porn movie exhibition.
