David Greene thought that the final cut of the film was so distorted that he tried, without success, to have his name removed from the credits.
Hal Holbrook and Cloris Leachman played husband and wife in two films, this 1970 feature and the following year's made-for-TV film "Suddenly Single." In January 2021, Hal's passing would occur four days before Cloris's, although his death was reported after hers, two weeks after he died. He was 95 and she was 94. Surviving them from those two films were co-stars who were also among the longest-lived famous actors at the time of the duo's passings, this movie also including Nehemiah Persoff who would survive them at age 101, and the latter film including both Barbara Rush having recently turned 94 and Michael Constantine being age 93 when their colleagues departed.
First cinema feature of Stephen Mchattie, the same about actress Janet Sarno.
