The autobiography "Grey Owl and Me" by Canadian environmentalist Hap Wilson devotes a chapter to the author's time working on this film. Wilson served as Pierce Brosnan's personal skills trainer.
The film takes place from 1934 to 1936.
During a press conference, an unsuspecting Pierce Brosnan was serenaded by Tom Green, who was filming a segment for The Tom Green Show (1999). Brosnan, who assumed Green was a journalist, advised him not to 'give up his day job'.
The movie was never given a theatrical release in the United States, though it managed to get one in Canada. It also wasn't released in the UK until late 2000, a year after the film's premiere.
