Trivia:
The main character is based on Arch Hall Sr., director and star of films such as Eegah (1962) and Wild Guitar (1962), and was an Army buddy of the film's writer. Hall was indeed a pilot, as is his son, Arch Hall Jr. Hall was aware his friend Bowers was writing the script and was flattered and pleased. Once the film was completed and in release, Hall sued the producers of this movie for invasion of privacy. The suit was apparently dropped or settled out of court. Bowers, writing later about his friend and the incident, not only bore Hall no malice, he thought Hall's actions were consistently in character for the sharpie with whom he'd served in uniform. more

France Nuyen was a real looker...., 22 March 2006
5/10
Author: alexisdetroit from San Diego, California

I see France Nuyen was born in France of mixed parentage. She no doubt dropped the G so that her show biz name would not be difficult to say as it is with many non-Viets. So Nguyen ("win") became Nuyen ("new-yen") for the movie goer. If she had taken on the Viet named for France she would be called Phap Nuyen. I found it difficult to identify her in Joy Luck Club as I had not seen her in years. She played the cranky mother of the Chinese gal who was dating the white guy? France Nuyen was quite the looker in Archie and probably the reason I still remember the movie. Just curious about Jack Webb. Years ago I was told he was gay. Is that true?
