Hall, Sr. looked to create an Elvis Presley-style screen persona for his son, and made sure that Eegah was peppered with various rock and roll songs (including two songs he wrote called "Vicky" and "Valerie").
Hall Sr.'s company, "Fairway-International Pictures", located in Burbank, California, was also Hall's place of residence and doubled for a number of locations in the picture, including the Millers' apartment.
