Reception
The film received three Genie Award nominations at the 1st Genie Awards in 1980: Best Actor (Hauff), Best Supporting Actress (Collins) and Best Original Screenplay (Jim Osborne).[2] Sid Adilman of the Toronto Star singled out Francks' failure to receive a Best Supporting Actor nomination as one of the biggest oversights of the entire awards ceremony.[2]
The film won an award for Best First Feature at the Texas International Film Festival.[3] It received only limited theatrical distribution in Canada, and was instead seen primarily as a television film on CBC Television.[4]
