Trivia Edit

Oddly when Bob Lansing is walking from the barber shop to the hotel the back of his pants are wet. How did the actor’s pants get wet during filming? They only had one pair of pants he could wear? Submitted by Craig, 5/1/10. [Picture that was included here no longer working 7/18/10.]
+ We see a brief flash of Lansing’s backside when he first exits the car in front of the barber shop and the “wet spot” is there. He’s been traveling/fishing/etc. and given the general filthiness of his clothes that may be a reasonable explanation. I’d rather not delve into any other reason as to why a “wet spot” is there...Submitted by Kenmore 7/18/10

Uncredited Actors: Frequent appearer Robert Wegner plays a deliveryman, wearing a leather jacket. (Perhaps he is delivering lunch, as there is a brown paper bag in his hands.) We see him hand the secretary a clipboard to sign as Perry Mason leaves Tom Quincy with food for thought. Read more about uncredited actors here. Submitted by gracep, 10/7/2010.

Sightings: Looks like some favorite faces took a field trip from Los Angeles to Outcast, CA, to watch the hearing today. In the gallery we see Distinguished Gentleman #1, Cute Young Lady. Read more about our faithful courtroom spectators here. Submitted by gracep, 10/7/2010.

Location: Perry Mason and Della Street enter the County Courthouse in Outcast, CA, one of the courthouses of lesser repute here. Submitted by gracep 10/7/2010.

+ Did you spot this, Gen-Xers? The man playing Quincy is none other than Denver Pyle, better known to you as Bo & Luke Duke’s Uncle Jesse in the original Dukes of Hazard. Hard to see without his beard! Submitted by gracep 10/8/2010.
