Production McCallum later said he did the film "because I got to go to Swaziland... the movie is something you'll have to see on a plane or on late night television."
Reception TV Guide had this to say about the film: "The cast of seasoned veterans (McCallum, Macnee, Ekland) contribute embarrassingly bad performances. Surprisingly, though, the photography—the film is shot on location in Africa as well as in London and Canadian studios—is not bad at all."
A 1979 article said the film "never saw the light of day".
