Production
Crenna said he was drawn to the film partly because his character survives the events of the plot, something that few of his characters had done recently.[2] Mendeluk used both actresses and real-life Toronto prostitutes during filming.[3] Shooting took place during November and December 1978 in Toronto,[4] and production ended in February 1979.[3] It was based on the novel The Sin Sniper by Hugh Garner.[5]
Reception
TV Guide rated it 1/5 stars and called it a "typical crime thriller".[6]
Crenna later said that he thought the content was not Canadian-specific enough.[7]
