This film achieved some renewed interest when it was shown on Season Five of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (1988)
This is the only cinema movie written by Ian Kennedy Martin who mostly worked on projects for television.
Several scenes were purposely shot twice to provide an alternate version of the scene for television broadcast. The scene where an angry Greta writes on Mitchell's windshield has two versions. The word, "bastard" replaced by "jerk," and in the dinner scene, "goddamn awful butler" is replaced by "lousy butler."
The edit of the movie used in Mystery Science Theater 3000 omits John Saxon's death scene completely. In fact, it is joked about later in the movie when one of them asks, "Wasn't John Saxon in this movie?"
