Production edit
During filming, Kirk flew head over heels off his horse and fell into an unexpected man-made ravine. "I fell at least 12 feet and landed flat on my back in the bottom of this ravine," Kirk said. "I landed in the one strip that was filled with soft mud; it was like landing on a feather pillow. Why I wasn't killed, I don't know.[1]
Principal photography took place in Kansas, at Quincy and Medicine Lodge.[3]

The film opened in northwestern Kansas in July 1975.[3]
