Production
The film was based on a play by Larry Cohen. He adapted the play into a screenplay and sold it. According to Cohen, "after acquiring the script, the company once again did me the favor of changing everything around and screwing everything up! I thought Scandalous was an utterly dismal movie... If you have an actor as distinguished as John Gielgud in your cast, you should at least give him some material that is worthy of his talent. I don’t think anybody liked that film, including its director."[2]
