Second and final of two collaborations of actress Vera Miles and actor James Garner. The pair also worked together the previous year on 1973's One Little Indian (1973) also a western and also at Disney.
Second of two pictures in consecutive years for Walt Disney Productions and starring James Garner. In 1973, Garner had headlined Disney's One Little Indian (1973), followed by this film in 1974. Both movies were westerns.
The real-life tropical island that portrayed the South Pacific isle that Lieutenant Lincoln Costain (James Garner) was castaway on was actually the island of Kauai in Hawaii. The majority of the picture was shot on location on Kaua'i.
The location of the Pacific Island was an isle in the "Sandwich Islands". This is another name for Hawaii as it was the name given to the Hawaiian Islands by English nautical explorer James Cook on 18th January 1778 when Cook became the first European to discover the territory.
The name of the song that the islanders sang on the island trail was "Come-a-ki-yi-yippy, yippy-yay".
