Wilentz and Chief Untermeyer were played by Christopher George , Barry Sullivan and Keenan Wynn . Originally shot for the cinema, the film was cut by 30 minutes and broadcast directly on television on ABC .

CBS aired the series to larger audiences on both The CBS Late Movie and prime-time during the summer of 1973 and 1975.
