Trivia

Sam Peckinpah had trouble remembering his lines. Because of Peckinpah's difficulty with his dialogue, the fact that his character was the ex-husband of Barbara Collins was never clearly established in the movie. Moreover, Peckinpah's voice was dubbed by another actor. See more »

Goofs

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When her daughter causes her to be paralyzed, the mother shows no signs of depression whatsoever, even immediately after she is discharged from hospital See more »
