The Legend of Walks Far Woman is a 1982 American TV film starring Raquel Welch and Bradford Dillman. It aired on NBC.
The film was announced in June 1979[1] and filming took place later that year. There were reportedly a number of clashes involving Raquel Welch and the director on set.[2] Welch admitted the role represented "a change of pace" for her.[3]
The film aired in the UK in 1980.[4] It was not screened in the US until 1982 because some NBC executives thought it was "a disaster".[5][6]
