Release
Caged Desires was produced by Hollywood Cinema Associates. According to the film's co-writer, Barbara Peeters, the film was shot in about 1967, even though it was not released until 1970. The film bore an X rating (possibly self-imposed) upon its initial release.
The film's publicity material read: "The management believes that you as an adult are entitled to satisfy your intellectual and emotional needs by viewing this film. We also believe in free choice. Accordingly, if you believe you are likely to be shocked or offended by this film, we will gladly refund your money if you appear at the box-office with the stub of your ticket within the next three minutes."
