What if we had an orgy and nobody came?

For you old-timers & historians...
I just watched Hot Rackets and was surprised that there's no climactic sex scene for top-billed star Candida Royalle.
If you haven't seen it, it's a standard late 70s spoof about a married couple whose sex life is non-existent because the wife is a bit prudish. She gets over this problem by getting busy with several of the members of her husband's private tennis club, and their marriage is saved at the end. But Royalle's character doesn't participate in the climactic orgy, and the movie freeze frames & goes to credits right as she's about to show hubby how horny & uninhibited she's become.
Ordinarily, I'd chalk this up to scheduling or budget, or both - Royalle came in, shot a few scenes, but was unavailable to film a fuck for the finale. But looking at the film's IMDB entry, I was surprised to see that her name is not listed in the credits there at all! Hot Rackets IMDB
That got me wondering if she had some issue with the film or someone involved in it. Anyone know any inside scoop on this?

Interesting. I just rewatched this again a couple of weeks ago. I would be interested to know the answer.
I'm also interested that you call it a spoof--what is it spoofing?

I suppose "farce" would be a better word for it. It's certainly lampooning rich folks & the tennis club set, though it isn't a spoof of any particular film or TV show.

At any rate, the movie really does feel like it's missing a couple Royalle scenes. They tease the prospect of her banging the chauffeur Carl (Turk Lyon) throughout, but that never happens. Hubby Herb (Jon Martin) screws Rhonda Jo Petty at the big pool party/orgy, but Royalle's Liz just heads off into the house somewhere and doesn't hook up with anyone. And, as I mentioned, she & Martin never "seal the deal" to wrap up the plot. An otherwise fun, hot flick (even with some of the excessive ADR dirty talk) which leaves you wanting more of the featured starlet.
