More comments on Kinski...
Very kind and thoughtful of the local natives to ask Herzog first.
More about Kinski, at possibly the same movie.
Spoiler:
from Imdb Trivia:
During a particularly rowdy night of production, Klaus Kinski, irritated by the noise from a hut where cast and crew were playing cards, repeatedly fired with a Winchester rifle into it. One of the bullets took the tip of an unnamed extra's finger off. Werner Herzog immediately confiscated the weapon and it remains his property to this day.
Seems almost too crazy to be true!
In Kinski's write-up about the production of "La Femme-Enfant", possibly from one of his autobiographies, he complained about everything, from the filming location, the water quality, and his annoyance with anyone he worked with. And they had to pay top dollar to have him in the movie! I suppose, in the parts I read, he never mentioned any complaints about the cow scene. That said, during his performance in this film, I completely believed his character and his enchantment by Elisabeth.

I think Pénélope Palmer might have wore patches on her private parts on the front, as the director refused to allow Kinski to see her private parts.
IMDB Trivia: According to Raphaële Billetdoux, the shooting with Klaus Kinski was a nightmare and at one point she had the temptation to stop there, as it was no longer possible to continue. For example, during the bathing scene that Kinski is preparing for the girl, then 14-year-old Pénélope Palmer was already very anxious about shooting a nude scene, even shot in a very modest way. So Billetdoux had reduced the technical team to and set the stage so that Kinski turned his back (as well as the camera), as Palmer was about to enter the bathtub. And Kinski had a fit: "What ?! I turn my back ?! Never ! And then, I want to see her naked ... "
