Larry Wilcox's first movie.
Final film of actress Jessie Royce Landis.
Making a cinema film out of Ann Head's novel was an ambition of the veteran director King Vidor, who spent a long time on the project and spoke about it to a British magazine interviewer in 1963. However, he could never get the studios to back him, and the subject-matter ended up as this little-noted TV movie of years later.
