This successful movie came close at the heels of Alma Moreno's launching movie, "Ligaw na Bulaklak" which was hit. This was adapted for the screen from a komiks story of the same title and showed Alma Moreno as Eva who was raped by her stepdad at 14, became a mother at 15 and a stripper at 16. She has gone a hard life and learned the ropes of how to live and survive a by becoming practical. Alma Moreno lip-sync Julie Styne's "Let me entertain you" (from the musical Gypsy) during the ending after which she removed and threw her bra over the male-screaming audience.
