Production

Despite having been a decorated combat veteran five years previously, Murphy convincingly played a youthful teenager in the film. He was cast at the insistence of Texas theater owners who helped finance the film. This was his third film following Beyond Glory and Texas Brooklyn and Heaven but this was his first lead.

Toward the end of the film is the appended acknowledgement from producer Paul Short, thanking Variety Clubs International, "which has 8,000 members—representing 17,000 theatres and is operating 100 charitable institutions in 43 cities and has expended twenty-two million dollars benefitting [sic] five million underprivileged children."

The ranch scenes were not filmed on the actual Variety Clubs ranch in Texas that inspired the film, but instead in Thousand Oaks, California.
