Production
Director Mamoru Watanabe made his debut with the now lost film Hussy in 1965. Virgin Rope Makeover is a remake of that film.[3] Watanabe also made other films at this time working with actresses Mayuko Hino and Naomi Oka with Oka usually playing the mature woman luring the innocent Hino into sadistic adventures. He also continued to collaborate with screenwriter Banmei Takahashi in other pink films for Shintōhō Eiga.[2]
