Production
The producer was “Ralph Solomons” whose previous producing credits include The Green Shoes, Its the only way to Go, and A Persian Fairy Tale. While Hazel Adair’s name appears on the credits (as co-writer of the song “You Go Your Way”), she did not admit to co- producing the film until 1975, when she featured in an episode of the BBC's Man Alive concerning sex films. The revelation that prompted Cinema X magazine (Vol 4. No. 4) to remark that her films “are far removed from Miss Adair’s more cozy world of Crossroads, Hazel Adair’s other films include Clinic Exclusive (1971), Can You Keep It Up For a Week? (1974), Keep it Up Downstairs (1976), and the more mainstream Game for Vultures (1979).
“Klaus Vogel”, who wrote the script and the film's tie-in novelisation, was in fact Crossroads producer Beryl Vertue.
Virgin Witch was filmed in Surrey during 1970 and previewed in the December editions of Mayfair and Continental Film Review (in which the title was referred to as "The Virgin Witch"). However, the film is copyrighted as a 1971 production, and censorship problems would mean it was not widely seen until 1972. The country house location, Pirbright, Admiral's Walk would be later used in Satan's Slave (1976) and Terror (1978), which were both directed by Norman J. Warren.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“An art whose limits depend on a moving image, mass audience, and industrial production is bound to differ from an art whose limits depend on language, a limited audience, and individual creation. In short, the filmed novel, in spite of certain resemblances, will inevitably become a different artistic entity from the novel on which it is based.”
—George Bluestone, U.S. educator, critic. “The Limits of the Novel and the Limits of the Film,” Novels Into Film, Johns Hopkins Press (1957)
“The production of obscurity in Paris compares to the production of motor cars in Detroit in the great period of American industry.”
—Ernest Gellner (b. 1925)
“[T]he asphaltum contains an exactly requisite amount of sulphides for production of rubber tires. This brown material also contains “ichthyol,” a medicinal preparation used externally, in Webster’s clarifying phrase, “as an alterant and discutient.””
—State of Utah, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
