Trivia

This was the final of eight Renfrew films; James Newill quit acting to become a singing cop in real life. No, really.

Cultural

The RCMP-as-hero genre peaked here before dying out; Canadians apparently preferred their Mounties less fictional and less prone to solo gold-smuggling investigations.
