- …But I Play One on TV: Paul Le Mat said many people received him with suspicion and even outright hostility after the television premiere of this film.

- Playing Against Type: Richard Masur plays Francine's attorney, a rare (at the time) dramatic role, and Farrah Fawcett at the time was known for her jiggle roles. Paul Le Mat, while he had done many small parts in film and television, was still best known as John in American Graffiti.
- What Could Have Been: The role of Francine was offered to another Angel, Cheryl Ladd, but she turned it down.
