Contents

The film was announced in June 1979 and filming took place later that year. There were reportedly a number of clashes involving Raquel Welch and the director on set. Welch admitted the role represented "a change of pace" for her.

The film aired in the UK in 1980. It was not screened in the US until 1982 because some NBC executives thought it was "a disaster".
