William Windom and Craig Stevens worked together again a couple years later when they both guest starred on Time Is the Fire (1972).
The title refers to a Misogynist, who has hatred or contempt for females.
Burrell wants to loan Ellen a copy of Jacqueline Susann's 1969 book "The Love Machine".

Burrell, bringing martinis, jokes about St. Bernards carrying brandy. In the Swiss Alps, St. Bernard dogs were used in rescuing travelers near the St. Bernard Pass monestary. And monestary monks often made brandy. But the dogs never carried little kegs of any sort. That silly, and medically disastrous, idea came solely from the 1820 Edwin Landseer painting "Alpine Mastiffs Reanimating a Distressed Traveler".
