While in post-production, the films producer Cami Winikoff and its director William Wesley were taking the film to LA to edit it, but they went to the wrong airport and missed their flight. That flight was Delta Air Lines Flight 191, which encountered a micro-burst upon landing in DFW and crashed, ultimately killing 137 of the 163 on board. The section of the plane they were to be sitting in had no survivors.
The film's theatrical run was simply a one-week engagement at a single Des Moines, Iowa theater. This was done solely for the purpose of being able to tell potential video distributors that the film had had a "theatrical release".
Don Herbert, who is the voice of radio newscast, is best known as Mr. Wizard, the host of various science TV shows for kids and adults.
Final and only film project of Don Herbert.
