Trivia

William Wiard directed this between episodes of Magnum, P.I. and Matt Houston, because apparently 80s TV needed more wealthy people in danger.

Cultural

This aired on ABC, which means some executive greenlit 'erotic death-wish romance for the whole family' in 1985. The Reagan era was weird.
