 For security reasons, when the film was sent to the lab, it was sent  under the title "Blue Harvest". The title was inspired by the  Dashiell Hammett (qv) story "Red Harvest", which was the  inspiration for _Yojimbo (1961)_ (qv), directed by  Akira Kurosawa (qv), one of the favorite directors of  George Lucas (qv).
