Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBeverlee McKinsey was not quite nine years older than her "stepdaughter" Sondra Locke. Antoinette says her father died when she herself was nine years old, which makes for implausible casting. Unsurprisingly, it had been Locke - an individual of boundless vanity - who recommended McKinsey for the role.
- GoofsWhen Billy is being interviewed by the press after stopping the bank robbery, he tells them to come check out the show "just off I-80". The film is set in Montana and Idaho, and Interstate 80 does not pass through either state.
