Production[]
Russ Meyer was hired to make the film by Albert Zugsmith, the first time he had directed for a producer who was not himself. According to Roger Ebert, Meyer "found Zugsmith difficult to work with, the German backers of the film unreliable, and the shooting conditions all but impossible."[3]
"The only thing that got me through at all," said Meyer, "was working with Miriam Hopkins, who was our star. The two of us pulled that picture through somehow. I told her once that it was remarkable how much she knew about making a picture, and she reminded me that, after all, she had once been married to Fritz Lang."[3]
While in Europe, Meyer made Europe in the Raw immediately afterwards.[3]
