Production

It was the first of three movies Allen did for TV in the wake of the success of

20th Century Fox for $1 million but was done for different networks. They were all done as pilots for potential TV series.[1]

"I missed television," said Allen. "There's a hysteria and an excitement in television that exists nowhere else in business."[1]

Allen called the film "Son of Poseidon Adventure."[1] It was mostly shot on the Queen Mary in Long Beach.[2]
