Production Filming took place in 1987 in Quebec City, Canada, which doubled for West Germany; other filming locations included Tennessee; Las Vegas and Beverly Hills, California.
Post-production was complicated by a hurried editing process, born out of a desire to get the miniseries to air before the 1988 Winter Olympics.
