Production

The soundtrack of this film is notable as the first film score composed by James Horner, who became one of the best known film score composers in Hollywood.

Release

The film was not a big success at the box office. Roger Corman re-released it in 1980 under the title Guns, Sin and Bathtub Gin, but it did not fare much better.[2]
