A little before the 24-minute mark, as Dawn is following Alexander, you can briefly see Bill Cosby's hot rod ambulance from the film "Mother, Jugs and Speed" (released earlier in the year), and with a movie poster for the film on the passenger side.
Eve Plumb has said in interviews that to this day she still "gets crap" from hardcore Brady Bunch fans who didn't like that she did this movie instead of doing the Brady Bunch Variety Hour; where a "fake Jan" had to take her place.
The actress portraying Frankie Lee is 33 years old while her character is only 17.
Directed by Grease and Blue Lagoon helmer Randall Kleiser.
This movie has a sequel, Alexander: The Other Side Of Dawn (1977), both movies were made for NBC TV movies.
