Pacino took the production of "The Indian Wants the Bronx" to Italy for a performance at the Festival dei Due Mondi in Spoleto. It was Pacino's first journey to Italy; he later recalled that "performing for an Italian audience was a marvelous experience". Pacino and Clayburgh were cast in "Deadly Circle of Violence", an episode of the ABC television series "NYPD", premiering November 12, 1968. Clayburgh at the time was also appearing on the soap opera "Search for Tomorrow", playing the role of Grace Bolton. Her father would send the couple money each month to help with finances.
