Trivia Edit

Virginia Field's awful, over-the-top accent would make one think she had never played a Russian before. But she had--many years before! In 1937's "Think Fast, Mr. Moto," she plays White Russian Tanya Borov--minus the terrible accent! Submitted by Ed Zoerner, 5/03/2009

+This would mark the final of five appearances on Perry for Phillip Terry playing Rolf Thorsen. Phillip Terry is best remembered as the 4th husband of Joan Crawford. While he was married to Ms. Crawford they adopted a boy that they named Phillip Terry Jr. After Ms. Crawford divorced Mr. Terry, she changed the boy's name to Christopher, possibly to match her daughters name of Christine.

Location: A location packed episode. Six minutes in you get a nice scene of downtown Los Angeles with the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in the center. About 16 minutes in there is a quick shot of Los Angeles International Airport with a glimpse of the Googie styled "Theme Building." It looks like a space-aged bug or flying saucer on legs. I have read it was the inspiration for buildings in the cartoon the Jetson's. There is a cool eatery at the top called the Encounter Restaurant. A minute or two later there is a scene where 2 officers are cruising down La Brea checking out a stolen car. Just before they pull the guy over you can see the "Carolina Pines Jr." sign in the background. That was yet another Googie styled eatery, a 24 hour coffee shop. Sadly, unlike the Theme Building which still exists, Carolina Pines Jr. was torn down and replaced by a creativity-free, totally forgettable, L shaped mini mall.
