Trivia
As originally written, the story was to be set in a Hawaiian tourist paradise, but budget constraints meant relocating it to the Arizona riverside.

Goofs
In the opening scene, Coral is swimming and her pigtails are definitely wet, but when she puts her swimsuit top back on and is still standing in the water, all her hair is dry. After the short walk to the cabin, her father remarks that she's still wet, but she's quite dry.

Quotes
Dr. Martin Ross: You're surrounded by beautiful women. Almost a harem. Your own paradise. Your daughter--I take it she's your problem.

Crazy credits
The entire opening credits appear on old wooden beach signs. Prints entitled 'Common Law Cabin' simply superimpose the title in standard white text over the still visible 'How Much Loving Does a Normal Couple Need?' beach sign (turning the original title something of a tagline).

One of Russ Meyer's most underrated movies.

I very rarely hear anybody mention 'Common Law Cabin', which is a shame. While it obviously doesn't reach the heights of 'Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!' or 'Vixen!' it actually comes pretty damn close at times. Newcomers to Meyer will find it a bit of a shock, as it features his trademark flavour of almost innocent sleaziness, lots of buxom babes, hilariously stylized dialogue, and despite the kitschness, a darker, more disturbing undercurrent. One character (Hoople, played by Jack Moran who also wrote this and other Meyer movies) has forbidden incestuous desires, another (Rickert, played by Ken Swofford) is a misogynistic thug. The three chesty babes are all great to look at. Babette Bardot (great name!) plays a Kitten Natividad-ish free spirit, and Alaina Capri (the best looking of the three), a bitchy Eric Gavin type. The third actress, Adele Rein plays Hoople's sweet and uncorrupted teenage daughter. All three women allegedly have 42 inch chests and go-go dance for no apparent reason. The cast also includes Meyer regular Frank Bolger in one of his typical roles. Meyer fans will eat this baby up, others might find it a good starting point to his strange, twisted world which is quite unlike any other in movie history! 'Common Law Cabin' is quite possible Meyer's most underrated film, and should not be overlooked.
