Production Notes
- Joe was originally slated to be the one who gets shot and Adam was to carry him to safety. Pernell Roberts couldn’t do this due to a bad back, so it was decided that Roberts’ stand-in, Betty Endicott would do it instead. Roberts’ was not pleased at the thought of this – a woman just over 5ft carrying Michael Landon. Michael Landon and Pernell Roberts worked out a way to have Joe carry Adam instead during their lunch break. The script was then re-written to have Adam as the shooting victim instead.
