TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Buck Mansfield quotes twice from the Bible. The first occasion is when he is being pursued by his creditors and he reads from Proverbs 31:10 -12 and 21 (...Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies....). The second instance is when he speaks to the bartender at Vendig's function and the quote is from Obadiah 1: 2-4 (...Though you set your nest among the stars, From there I will bring you down ...).

Terra Distributors' VHS copy is a truncated version, running only 86 minutes, not the full 104 minutes.
