Production

John Ashley had made a series of movies in the Philippines with Eddie Romero for Hemisphere Pictures. When the owner of that company fell ill, Romero suggested to Ashley that they finance their own movie.^[1] Additional funding came from Roger Corman for New World Pictures.^[2]

The success of the movie led to Corman making a series of films in the Philippines, including The Big Doll House.
