Clint Eastwood in the 1970s who became a long-time collaborator of Eastwood, was inspired by the 1966 novel by Thomas P. Cullinan. He gave the book to Eastwood, who read the book about a wounded Union soldier held captive by the sexually repressed matron of a southern girls' school in one night. This was the first of several films where Eastwood has agreed to storylines where he is the center of female attention, including minors. The film received major recognition in France, and was proposed by Pierre Rissient to the Cannes Film Festival, and while agreed to by Eastwood and Siegel, the producers declined. It
