History
The film was originally financed by church groups. However, when the budget got too big, the film was sold to a producer. The producer released the film on the exploitation circuit. The film did not do very well until the 1970's when it started being shown as a midnight movie. It became very popular amongst pot heads. This is because, the film is overacted and some of the things in it are completely outrageous (for instance, the heroine jumps out the window instead of going to jail). In 2004, 20th Century Fox as well as Legend Films released a color version of the film. The color is done very weirdly to keep with the campy style of the original. The film has fallen into the public domain, making it available for anyone to download or put onto DVD. On rottentommatos.com, the film holds a 50% rating. On yahoo.com, the film holds a C+ rating from it's users.
