Trivia[]

  • This is the second time Dale Robertson has starred, but has been uncredited in the cast list, the previous one being Murder, She Wrote: The Last Flight of the Dixie Damsel.
  • The auto crash sequence was filmed in miniature. The auto was a 'duplicate of the Chrysler hero car' - a miniature toy available at the time of filming.
  • The final restaurant scene with Dale Robertson and Angela Lansbury was filmed in the Universal Studios VIP commissary dining room prior to the studio's renovation of the room in 1990. The booth they occupy was always reserved for Lew Wasserman.
  • The ranch house exteriors, interiors, and stables were filmed on location in Hidden Hills. The rear patio area behind the foyer hallway staircase, including the patio area behind the living room séance scene, were tented (black duvyteen tarp) for the film's night sequence, which were filmed during the day.
  • Guest star David Birney is probably best known for his brief marriage to Family Ties star Meredith Baxter (causing her to be known as "Meredith Baxter-Birney" for a while) and the sitcom they did together, Bridget Loves Bernie.

Goofs[]

When Jill Goddard's car leaps off the top of the cliff when she is returning home after being kidnapped, it bounces down the cliffside before coming to rest firmly on its wheels; there is no explosion or fire. The whole crash is stock footage.
