Charles Band, of Empire Pictures and Full Moon Features fame and son of movie producer Albert Band, got a job as a production assistant as one of AIP's employees. He quit the job a week later after realising he wanted to make the movie and be the guy in control instead of 'running around getting coffee'.
This was the first film that Albert Band produced in the States after his Italy run.
The concept for this film was born out of a previous feature by Lou Garfinkle and Frankie Ray called 'The Doberman Gang' and released a year earlier (1972), where a pack of Doberman pinschers were trained in order to perform a bank robbery. They wanted to trade off the same theme but with a hot chick starring in the movie while doing a spin on the 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' tale.
Charles Band stated in an interview with Dave Jay that working on this movie provided him with the first cheque "I've ever received in my entire life!" (some five dollars after deductions). After that moment he began making his own movies and generating his own income, or lack of income.
