Trivia
Raymond Burr's right arm is injured and is hidden under his coat. At the beginning of the story, it is not in the coat sleeve but under the coat. This also can be seen when he is sitting at the defense table. The camera never shows his right arm. Closeups of his face are used when he is in the scene, or, as in the final scene, his right arm is hidden (behind Gary Collins).

Goofs
Because Larry is an employee of Hamilton Burger, it would be unethical for Burger or anyone in his office to handle the prosecution. A special prosecutor would have been named.

Quotes
Paul Drake: Realities? Someone sticks a knife in a rag doll, then a curvy blond doll takes a step into nowhere. Some realities.

What'd You Say?

This is another one of those nearly ridiculous episodes where the explanation takes about ten minutes. There's so much behind the scenes stuff that we need a timeline and a few magnets put in the right order to figure it all out. The blond bombshell certainly fell into quite a situation. She didn't even have to do anything except party and get drunk on someone else's dime. The Gary Collins was the young stupid lawyer, and he was the son of King Kong's wife (no family resemblance). Then there's the guy that everyone names over and over. Oh well. Not worth much more commentary.
