In real life, Catherine Edmonds obtained the nick-name of 'Caddie' because one of her boyfriends thought that she had "the sleek body and class of his Cadillac motorcar".
This movie was the Opening Night Film at the 1976 San Francisco Film Festival, the first time that this festival had not opened with a film from a major American distributor.
This movie was filmed during August and September 1975.
The production shoot for this film went for six weeks.
Producer Anthony Buckley took an option out on the 'Caddie' book rights for £ 100 whilst he was editing Wake in Fright (1971) late in 1970.
