According to Stacy Keach, the producers wanted to change the film's title to "The Nicest Guy in Town" but he convinced them that it was not a good idea.
Julie Adams who plays Stacy Keach's mother in a flashback scene, said there was trouble with the director: 'somebody had been fired and then Burt Kennedy came in to replace him. I never saw the finished product, I don't know if it ever came out.'
