Title
The film was originally released in the U.S. as Hungry Wives and in the U.K. as Jack's Wife. It was also issued under the title Season of the Witch because the 1966 song of the same name by Donovan appears in the film's soundtrack.
Season of the Witch was the original title of the Martin Scorsese film Mean Streets (1973), in which the main character, referring to their bar hangout, says, "And I wouldn't call it Tony's Place or Charlie's Place…I'd call it something like Season of the Witch… get it?"
In October of 1982, it was re-released as "Season of the Witch" in the United States on the same weekend as "Halloween III: Season of the Witch," apparently in an attempt to cash in on the potential success of the popular slasher series.
