Milburn Stone's character of 'Doc Adam's is very well read. He makes two references to Sir Walter Scott. He utters a Scott quote: "Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive." And later refers to Chester as a Tin Horn Lochinvar. This Lochinvar was a fictional romantic hero of the ballad Marmion (1808) by Sir Walter Scott.
Chester says to Ann you're only 17, actress Mary Carver was in fact 32, While Dennis Weaver was 33.
