It was produced by Robert Bruning an actor who had produced several TV series.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald the network hoped the film "to be a slick, glossy offering along the lines of Banacek."[1]
It was shot in Surfers Paradise, with Bruning using several collaborators he had worked with on his TV shows such as director Bill Hughes. Bruning called the final movie "a terrible thing... I would like to forget it" but managed to sell ut outright to Paramount, who showed the film in prime time syndication on American TV. It was the only one of his TV films he sold outright.
