Actor Forrest Tucker died before the film was broadcast so his appearance is posthumous. The film was given generally positive reviews by the critics and did well in the ratings, winning its timeslot. It was repeated during August 1987 then went to syndication. It was aired occasionally by Lifetime and Sci-Fi Channel networks through the 1990s. It was aired several times during the spring and summer of 2010 on the This TV Network. Rocket TV Network has run it as one of its movies-of-the-month in both December 2015 and December 2016.
