Trivia
Even though Pete Carpenter, who co-composed themes and many episode scores for The Rockford Files (1974) and other TV series with Mike Post, passed away in 1987, he is still credited with Post on this and the rest of the Rockford Files TV movies. See more »Goofs
In the scene where Garner and Harrold enjoy morning-after glow in his father's cabin, she wistfully notes, "You hear that one bird, the high one? It goes exactly every 17 seconds." It's a 50 second scene with one irrelevant edit, and the bird sings only 4 times (around her observation), at 14-, 12-, and 10-second intervals. See more »Soundtracks
