Production notes

This TV-movie was begun in 1990. It was originally scheduled to be broadcast on April 22 (Earth Day), 1997. Despite the all-start cast, the production on this film has been an on again, off again thing since the early 1990's. The film hit it's first speed bump when actor John Candy dies in 1994.

Pulse Entertainment picked up the film after Candy's death, and wanted to move forward with the film, sans Candy. Castmember Madeline Kahn passed away in 1999, and the film again was in limbo. The film was again started up with a 2005 release date; it was not finished by that time. The film has not yet been released. It is likely production ceased in about 2009.
