Production

The film was based on the novel, The Bind by Stanley Ellin, which was published in 1970. The Chicago Tribune called it a "well plotted puzzle". The New York Times said it was "brimful of incident, smoothly effective and has the pace of a frightened whippet."

Film rights were bought prior to publication, in November 1969, by producer Phil Waxman, who wanted Robert Redford in the lead.

The rights transferred to John Daly at Hemdale.

The film became the second starring vehicle for Farrah Fawcett-Majors after she left Charlie's Angels. As with her first film, she was paid $750,000.

Harrison Ford was originally announced as her leading man. Eventually Charles Grodin was cast off the back of his success in Heaven Can Wait. Grodin admitted "I was sixth choice for the role."
