made for TV?

Didn't see it on its initial release. Caught it in the early '70s at a 3fer 1 bargain. At what they fondly call an American Grindhouse. The place where you could crash all nite and see all 3 flicks twice-just in case you happened to fall asleep during any one of them(easy to do). The main thing I remember about this particular movie was its extreme violent fight scene(for its time) between 3 of the main characters: Michael Sarrazin-John Anderson-Anthony Franciosa. After Michael gets whupped by John-Anthony does a number on John. Apparently Franciosa had a huge temper. He lost many an acting gig due to his short fuse. He knew how to handle himself physically but not mentally. Typical Bully. He had a TV Gig on a show called "The Name Of The Game". He got fired for losing his temper at one of the Universal Studio Bosses. I recently saw "A Man Called Gannon" on commercial television. Man did they splice the crap out of that fight scene. What a joke. Although it was kind of a joke Franciosa taking on Anderson. Franciosa had to be 20 years younger than Anderson. I think Franciosa's nickname in Hollywood was "Hothead". His career pretty much petered out after scoring some European horror-movie gigs. There's no way this could have been a Made-For-TV Movie. Too Violent.

Although there were posters and lobby cards done for a theatrical release, I've never been able to find any information of specific places and dates it played, or newspaper reviews. My impression is that the filming may have been done at two different times - I believe I saw some filming dates once. People on Ebay are selling commercial dvd's from Spain, but I don't know if they're complete....or what the quality is.... I think mine came from iOffer too......
