What caught my eye in this film is the last few sequences which include a long chase along the Russian River in northern California. The rear projection looks feeble today but that is the way it was in 1965. Arte Johnson is miscast and that is underscored when, at the end of the chase, he and George Peppard haul out the fisticuffs in the surf. That final scene was filmed on the beach at Goat Rock State Park just south of Jenner, California.
