Interesting facts

Kung Kasalanan Man is a 1989 Philippine thriller melodrama film directed by Eddie Garcia from a screenplay by Amado Lacuesta Jr. and Raquel Villavicencio, based on a komiks serial of the same name written by Gilda Olvidado. It revolves around two Irmas: one is the real Irma, who has owned properties, and the other is Jo, the fake Irma, who is the former's high school friend who stole the former's identity by having plastic surgery after her former lover beat her and destroyed her face.

Production

In April 1988, during its development phase, Gabby Concepcion and Ronald Jayme were originally part of the project but left without any cited reason. To prepare for the role of Josephine "Jo" Quintos, actress Timmy Cruz went to the nightclubs of Mabini to observe the characteristics and behaviors of the female patrons, as well as going to the hotel lobby of Manila Peninsula by herself.

In the intimate scene featuring Alvaro and the false Irma, a thick plaster was put on Julio Diaz's front to "prevent sexual excitement" on Dina Bonnevie but it did not work successfully.
