Production
Collins had appeared in two popular vehicles, The Stud and The Bitch which led to her casting on Dynasty.[3] She made Nutcracker over six weeks during early 1982 in between season one and two of Dynasty. The director had only made short films.[4]
Carol White stormed out of a screening after seeing she had been shown topless, contrary to previous assurances.[5]
Reception
The Guardian called the film "living testament to the propensity of the British happily to survive the dollops of soft porn with Joan Collins at its gooey centre."[6]
