November 4, 1977 According to Wikipedia, production didn't begin on the film until 1978: Trans World Entertainment agreed to finance the film and principal photography was planned to begin in San Diego on October 17, 1977. The production was cancelled at the last minute after Rush and Ely Landau could not agree on casting. Funding for the picture finally came in 1978 from Melvin Simon, who had made a fortune in real estate.[3][6] Production began in the summer of 1978. Many scenes were filmed in and around the historic Hotel del Coronado in Coronado, California. This proves that information wrong as this story is definitely from November 4, 1977. Our Shirley Clum was at La Jolla Cove mixing in with the extras and onlookers. CBS 8 is the local source for San Diego breaking news and top story headlines.
