Reception
The film was a financial failure. Frankenheimer later said it was never properly released because the producers went bankrupt.[2] However, the film saw some success at the 1974 Atlanta Film Festival, where it won the Grand Award Gold Phoenix for best film. Mosley also won for best screenplay and composer Michel Legrand for his film score.[3] Frankenheimer said he entered the film with a stolen print.[4]
