 Ralph Bakshi (qv) wrote the screenplay before he became famous  with the intention to produce it as his first feature film. It was  originally titled "When I Catch Her Ill Kill Her." The studio  Bakshi approached found the material to be "too hot." According to  Bakshi, "A story about women cheating on their husband was too far  out at that time for some reason." Years later, Bakshi handed in the  same script, with a few changes, and it was approved by the studio  that eventually produced the film.
