The film was announced in June 1979[1] and filming took place later that year. It was made by Raquel Welch's own production company. There were reportedly a number of clashes involving Raquel Welch and the director on set.[2]
Welch admitted the role represented "a change of pace" for her.[3]
Reception
The film aired in the UK in 1980.[4] It was not screened in the US until 1982 because some NBC executives thought it was "a disaster".[5][6]Brandon Tartikoff of NBC cut 25 minutes from the film before it aired.[7]
The New York Times said "there is nothing dreadfully wrong with Miss Welch's performance... it's just that the entire story is boring."[2]
