Production
In November 1977 Peppard announced he wanted to direct and star in The Long Escape. "Directing is something I've wanted to do a long time," he said.[4]
Peppard made the film with much of his own money. He later stated that it cost $1 million to produce. "I'm quite proud of it," he said in 1979. "I sold many assets to help make it but I don't mind. It was the best time of my life. Maybe it would have been a better film with a better script - I don't know - but I just didn't have any money to spare."[2]
Reception
Peppard eventually sold it for $1,250,000, thus allowing him to repay his investors within nine months of the film's release.[1]
Bill Conti's love theme Come With Me Now was the inspiration to the theme tune to Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, hosted by the late Robin Leach. It had also been used as one of the theme songs for local morning program AM Los Angeles on KABC-TV.
