Production and reception
A bidding war broke out over the film rights, eventually won by Stanley Kramer. Kramer negotiated with Columbia Pictures for the right to produce and direct the film, which made its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival in August, 1971, as the United States' entry in the international competition. Kramer later commented on Russian reception of the film, stating that they "viewed as a preachment against Kent State and My Lai," when he had envisioned more of a statement about the "gun cult" in America and how "easy availability of weapons contributes to violence."
Soundtrack and score
The music for the film was composed by Barry De Vorzon and Perry Botkin, Jr.. Their score for the movie included an instrumental selection titled "Cotton's Dream," which was later rescored to become the theme song of the soap opera The Young and the Restless (produced by Columbia's television division, now Sony Pictures Television). The soundtrack for the film also includes the movie's theme song performed by The Carpenters. When gymnast Nadia Comaneci used the original music for "Cotton's Dream" for her routines in the 1976 Summer Olympics, the song gained more popularity and was subsequently released in a reedited and lengthened form as "Nadia's Theme."
For their work, De Vorzon and Botkin were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song and the Grammy Award for Best Original Score Written for a Motion Picture or a Television Special.
