Facts about
In Feb. 1958, this film was being shown in many drive-in theaters on a double bill with Wild Weed. (Wild Weed was being shown with its alternate title "She Shoulda Said 'No'!")
When the film opened in Baltimore, Maryland, the theater was picketed by religious groups, the Catholic Legion of Decency gave it a "C" (Condemned) rating and the Maryland Board of Censors threatened to have it banned in the state. All of that publicity resulted in the picture doing $32,000 worth of business in the first week at a time when theater admission prices were 25 cents.
The picture was phenomenally successful. Producer Kroger Babb said that each investor got back $63,000 for each $1000 he invested in the film.
