One of Maureen McCormick's early mature roles.
Reunions a'plenty among this film's cast. Susan Howard (Dot Hammer) and Albert Salmi (Sheriff Larkin) co-starred in the 1974-76 series Petrocelli (1974), and John Saxon (J.B. Johnson) guest starred in the episode Mark of Cain (1975). Veteran character actor Morgan Woodward had previously appeared in an episode of the 1971-76 William Conrad (Starkey) series Cannon (1971), and in two episodes of Petrocelli (1974). After his appearance here, Woodward was soon reunited with John Saxon and Jeff Corey (Preacher) in Battle Beyond the Stars (1980), and soon thereafter joined the cast of Dallas (1978), which reunited him with Susan Howard. Finally, a very Brady reunion: The younger Hammer sisters Claudia Jennings (Betty) and Maureen McCormick (Sissy) had earlier appeared together in Adios, Johnny Bravo (1973).
John Saxon, Morgan Woodward, and Jeff Corey would later appear in BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS.
Released on VHS by CBS/FOX video in Australia and New Zealand in 1984.
When it premiered as a CBS-TV movie of the week special, it ranked Number 18 of the Top 20 television viewed films in early April 1978.
