Trivia
The log cabins built for this film were moved to Rustic Canyon in Pacific Palisades. At this writing (January 2001), the largest, once owned by Daryl Hannah, is the center of some controversy over whether it should be demolished, as it has seriously deteriorated. The other two are still being used as residences.
Notes
Some sources indicate that Marian Nixon is also in the cast.
