Production
Russ Meyer was hired to make the film by Albert Zugsmith. This was his first time directing a film without also being its producer. 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] (It was actually Anatole Litvak.)
While in Europe, Meyer made Europe in the Raw immediately afterwards.[3]
