In addition to a questionably cast Landon in the lead, the film introduces to American TV German actor Jurgen Prochnow (of "Das Boot"), has Priscilla Presley (Elvis' actress ex-wife) in her TV-movie debut, and "presents" Moira Chen, introduced as a noted Indonesian actress but later revealed by "Variety" actually to be Laura Gemser, star of "Emmanuelle" and numerous other soft-core sex movies. A similarly-themed theatrical film, "Saigon: Year of the Cat" by British playwright David Hare, starring Frederic Forrest and E.G. Marshall, was made about the same time but did not receive a release until more than a year later.
