Una squillo per quattro svitati

The movie was actually filmed in 1971 shortly after Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland had co-starred in the very different picture Una squillo per l'ispettore Klute (1971). The production required re-shoots and had a few delays and was not released anywhere until 1973. Fonda and Sutherland, who briefly had a real-life personal relationship around that time, were also both involved in "The FTA Show", a wartime entertainment gig which toured towns in the USA which had military bases nearby. The show was a satirical event protesting the Vietnam War. Several other people connected with 'Steelyard Blues' were also involved and this notably included actor Peter Boyle. The three also had just appeared in a feature film version of the show [See: FTA (1972)].

During the scene at the airfield when Eagle is dressed as a soldier and is shooting arrows, he is heard saying "Up yours, Kraut!" but his lip movements clearly don't match the "up yours" part.

The Committee is in the opening cast list

When originally broadcast on NBC in 1979, the film was retitled "The Final Crash".
