Production

Leonard sold the film rights to producer William Dozier, who owned Greenway Productions. Greenway signed a deal with Warner Bros.-Seven Arts in 1967 to provide a series of films, starting with The Big Bounce. Leonard stated, "The producer’s son [Robert Dozier] ended up writing the script. It was an awful movie, and that’s all I can say about it." In a letter to a colleague, Leonard called the script "a 1957 situation-TV script with dirty words.

Ryan O'Neal and Leigh Taylor-Young were married at the time, both having been featured in ABC's popular prime-time serial Peyton Place. It was O'Neal's first lead role in a feature film. He made it while on summer hiatus from Peyton Place.

Filming started in August 1968. Exteriors were shot in Carmel and Monterey County.
