Mel Magazine has a retrospective article on the production of the film (good luck trying to read that link on mobile, though).
We didn’t get around to the original Jim West, Robert Conrad’s reaction to the film— he wasn’t wholly negative but he wasn’t exactly thrilled, either. Also, he dares you to knock this battery off his shoulder.
For more on Barbra’s ex, the Hollywood Reporter interviewed Jon Peters in 2024. Of course he’s a Trump guy.
