It was shot in Ireland at Roger Corman's studios near Galway.
Jeremiah Cullinane had worked as first assistant director for a number of productions for Corman.
They had difficulties finding someone who would direct Criminal Affairs so they offered the job to Cullinane.
The screening was controversial as some press claimed the film was semi pornographic, attracting controversy because Roger Corman's studio was financed with government money.
