This movie features Maureen McCormick and Michael Cummings, who, in real life, get married a few years later.
Miguel Ferrer was originally cast as Jerry but dropped out before filming began. Michael Cummings was then cast in the role after originally turning down the role of Rick Irons due to concerns about the script. He agreed to appear in the film after being told that he could rewrite his role as well as the added incentive of filming in Hawaii and working with Maureen McCormick who he would then date and later marry.
