Despite having a big name star like Christie, who at the time was one of the most popular and sought-after actresses in the world, the film only had a limited theatrical release (after being deemed so bad by test audiences that Universal decided not to give the film a wide release), garnering little to no attention. Christie only agreed to do the film because it was shot on location in the same area that her then-boyfriend, Warren Beatty, was filming The Only Game in Town with Elizabeth Taylor. That film, despite having two big name stars as well, met with a similar fate and was not widely released either.
