This was a personal project for McQueen, as he made it to prove to many people that he could act. But Warner Bros. could not figure out how to distribute the film and decided not to release it domestically. It had a very brief theatrical release in New York a few years after McQueen's death.
Steve McQueen approached Charlton Heston to appear alongside him.
Steve McQueen wanted his wife Ali MacGraw to star opposite him, until they separated just before production began.
This is Steve McQueen's first movie role since his "retirement" after "The Towering Inferno," in which he was one of the world's biggest box office draws, thereafter rejecting offer after offer (including "Apocalypse Now', "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and William Friedkin's "Sorcerer"). Instead, he chose to do what he described as a 'wonderful play" with a 'great actor's part".
It was hard for McQueen once he found the play to convince his partners at First Artists to make the film, and he agreed to take a union scale fee and promised to keep the budget under 3 million.
"Dr. Thomas Stockmann: You want me to keep quiet. Peter Stockmann: That's not what I said. Dr. Thomas Stockmann: You don't want me to say anything to the public. We may be talking about typhoid. Peter Stockmann: I said before, they're not that convinced there is any actual danger. Dr. Thomas Stockmann: My report is based on fact. You and the Administration insisted on building that water supply where it is to save money. You made a mistake! Now you're afraid to admit it."
"Peter Stockmann: Without moral authority, there can be no governance."
