Future hit TV series mashup: This show co-stars Telly Savalas who went on to international fame as the titular character in the TV series Kojak (1973), plus seven Kojak TV movies, and Norman Fell, Three's Company (1976), plus its spinoff, The Ropers (1979).
This is the first of two appearances Norman Fell makes in the series, each time playing a different, but similarly ranked police detective. His second and final appearance occurs in Stranger in the Mirror (1965).
This is the second of three appearances Telly Savalas makes in the series, each time playing a different but similar character: i.e. a father distraught about the fate of his child. The other two appearances occur in Where the Action Is (1964) and Stroke of Genius (1966).
This the second of five appearances Carol Eve Rossen makes in the series, each time playing a different character.
