    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The film was finished in 1974, but not released to theaters until 1977. It might never have been released at all if not for Sondra Locke's career-boosting appearance in The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976), which she made in 1975.
    • Goofs
      When the women are pretending to hold court and Jackson throws down a small statue to smash it, the downward-facing shot clearly reveals that it's already in large separate pieces before it hits the floor.
    • Quotes
      • George Manning: You have the manners of an alley cat.
    • Crazy credits
      Before the opening credits: "This motion picture is based on a true story. It should serve to remind us that fate allows no man to insulate himself against the evil which pervades our society."

    • The synopsis mentions "two young girls", but the movie poster shows two 45 year old women. I don't get it?
