Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This aired as an ABC Movie of the Week, part of the network's strategy to compete with theatrical films through 'prestige' small-screen productions.
James Franciscus was ABC's golden boy at the time, having starred in 'Naked City' and later 'Longstreet'—this was essentially his victory lap before the 70s ate his career.
