Interesting facts

Dirty O'Neil is a 1974 American crime comedy film directed by Leon Capetanos and Lewis Teague.

Production

Morgan Paull later claimed Harrison Ford auditioned for the role Paull played. He called Dirty O'Neill "the lowest budget movie in history, believe me… I mean our lunch was whatever they could find at a local hotdog stand. But it was a lead role and it was supposed to be funny, a takeoff on all the cop movies that were going on… And it had potential of being funny.

The film's original title was The Love Life of a Cop. According to producer John Broderick it was "a light comedy about a cop in a small town and a bunch of girls who freak out about his uniform. He's prone to non violence but when a lot of violence comes to town he has to deal with all these murders." Broderick said the distributors suggested he change the title to Dirty O'Neill.
