Production

"This was not a low budget film," said director Alvin Rakoff, "this was a lowest budget film." When the lighting cut-out during a key scene, the filming had to continue.

The film itself is remarkable for the introduction of new talent. Michael Caine in a role so small he is not credited. He had, like Sean Connery and others, previously worked as walk-ons with the director. Jackie Collins, later an acclaimed novelist and the sister of Joan, played one of many prostitutes. The appearance of Joan Sims, also un-credited.

Nicolas Roeg, director of Don't Look Now, The Man Who Fell to Earth, etc., was the camera operator. Alvin Rakoff, a renowned television director, was keen to break the then heavily imposed glass ceiling between the small screen and feature films. He therefore accepted the assignment knowing it to be an exploitation film.

Reception

The Los Angeles Times said "the picture is rather well done".[4]
