Production
Under Age was produced by American International Pictures (AIP).[1] Following the success of Buchanan's previous courtroom drama Free, White and 21, AIP co-founder Samuel Z. Arkoff encouraged the filmmakers to create a similar film specifically targeted at young people.[1] The plot was based on a real-life court case in which a woman, Wanda Duckworth, was found guilty of rape and jailed for encouraging her 15-year-old daughter to have sex with a 17-year-old male.[1] A number of actors from Free, White and 21 returned for this film, playing the same characters.[1][5]
