Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was George Mendeluk's theatrical debut before he pivoted almost exclusively to television, including directing 17 episodes of 'Night Heat'.
Shot during Toronto's 1970s sleaze era when Yonge Street was still peep shows and grindhouses; the film preserves a city that's been aggressively sanitized.
