Cast Richard Harris as Martin Steckert Lindsay Wagner as Dr. Mennen James Coburn as Lt. Lardner Justin Henry as Martin Karen Black as Karen John Ireland as Brewer Saul Rubinek as Hitchhiker R.H. Thompson as Paul Mennen Production Filming for 'Martin's Day' took place in Ontario, Canada during the autumn of 1984, and began shortly after Richard Harris completed an eight-city tour of the musical 'Camelot'. The film's script was written by Chris Bryant and Allan Scott. Release Initially intended to release in November 1984, 'Martin's Day' premiered in the United States on February 22, 1985. Reception Critical reception was mixed. 'The Kansas City Star''s Robert C. Trussell expressed disappointment in the film, criticizing the lack of acting chemistry between Henry and Harris. A reviewer for the 'Austin American-Statesman' viewed it as a contender for the year's worst film and noted that the filming was done so quickly after Harris's 'Camelot' tour that his hair still bore traces of the orange hair dye used for his performance as King Arthur. David Pickering of the 'Corpus Christi Times' was more favorable, praising Harris's acting. Martha Steimel of the 'Wichita Falls Times' was similarly favorable citing Henry's acting as a highlight.
