Trivia

This movie was released five years after its source novel was first published. The novel's original title was "The Hostage". The film is the only theatrical feature based on a story by author Charles Templeton.

The movie marked the re-teaming of two Golden Age of Hollywood MGM studio alumni stars, Ava Gardner and Van Johnson, who had both previously appeared in both 3 Men in White (1944) and Two Girls and a Sailor (1944).

The film's opening sequence features black-and-white archive footage of various former American Presidents in public, and in motorcades, including that of President John F. Kennedy.

Star Billing: William Shatner (1st), Hal Holbrook (2nd), Van Johnson (3rd), and Ava Gardner (4th).

Principal photography on the picture began in Autumn 1979 with filming being conducted during October, November, and December 1979.
