When this film was repeated on April 22, 1994 as an NBC Friday Mystery special, the final 15 minutes were chopped off (in the Eastern and Central time zones) for a special report on the death of former President Richard Nixon. First-time viewers never learned the killer's identity.
Genie Francis (Laura Vining Weber Baldwin Spencer), Linda Dano (Rae Cummings), Stuart Damon (Alan Quartermaine), & Sean Kanan (AJ [Alan Jr.] Quartermaine) all appeared on the soap opera General Hospital, the latter two as father and namesake son.
