Executive producer Theodore J. Ticktin sued Jack Broder, Realart Pictures Inc. and Cheryl-TV Corp. for $500,000 for releasing Breakdown on television too soon after the film's theatrical release, resulting in lowered theatrical profits. Truth of the matter was, the film had already been in distribution for two years and by that time had earned the maximum amount of revenue that could have realistically been expected by its inevitable position as the second feature on the lower half of double bills in the least demanding, least lucrative booking situations.
FINAL feature film of Ann Richards.
