Production
It was the second film from Transatlantic Enterprises, following No Room to Run. The film was announced in November 1976 as Billy. Another working title was Fuzzy. John Newcombe has a cameo where he plays a game of tennis against Caesar. Filming took place from mid November 1976 to mid January 1977. His wife Florence was flown to Auckland but by the time she arrived Caesar had gone to Sydney. Norman Panama requested Florence stay on the set to ensure Caesar completed the film. Caesar wrote "she did and she got me to work every day, in reasonably usable condition." However Caesar said he could not remember anything about making the movie or any of the time he spent in Australia. ==References==
