This movie wasn't producer Sir Lew Grade's only flop, but it was the biggest, and its failure pretty much ended his career as a movie producer. His other flop was Can't Stop the Music (1980), produced by EMI, which had been trying to break into movie making. They even formed a joint venture with Grade, called Associated Film Distribution, for American releasing. Both movies flopped so badly that Grade and EMI's movie divisions, and by extension, Associated Film Distribution, all sunk. The remaining backlog of releases was sold to Universal, who acquired ITC's shell by the late 1990s. The EMI library, via The Cannon Group, Inc., ended up with StudioCanal, later acquired by Universal Pictures.
