Production

Ryan O'Neal made the film immediately after Love Story. Filming began in April 1970 in Lancaster, California.

Reception

The film's release was held back to take advantage of the success of Love Story. The Los Angeles Times called the film "for the most part, improbably developed...O'Neal... is the main strength of this movie." [1]

The movie was the seventh highest rating show of the week in the US, with a rating of 26.8. It was ABC's most popular show of the week. [2] It was repeated in June and rated 20.7 one of the top ten shows in the country that week. [3]
