Trivia
A common occurrence on the series, was to have actors who had worked with Hudson during his early film career appear on the show. A treat for Hudson and fans of the star, who would recognize and appreciate seeing what would amount to a mini-reunion. This time around the reunion group included: Donna Douglas (Lover Come Back), Stephen McNally (Winchester '73, Air Cadet, Iron Man), Dana Wynter (Something of Value) and Vito Scotti (Blindfold.) Scotti, of course had the recurring role of Sykes in the series.

Goofs
When McMillan and Erickson go to the hideout to meet with Elana they aren't carrying anything with them. But in the hotel room McMillan shows her his plans for the wagon with the one-way window, with no explanation for how they got there.

The First Two Hour Episode!

Usually this series has only about 90 minute episodes. This episode did feel longer by about 20 minutes. Stewart MacMillan besides being San Francisco Police Commissioner and a former defense attorney was also a CIA agent. When an old agent dies, he goes into investigating mode. Dana Wynter played a female spy from his past. It was done surprisingly well for a longer episode. I did enjoy Dana Wynter here.
