Despite the billing in the credits, Noah Beery did not appear in this episode. Noah Beery, the silent film star died in 1946 long before this episode was filmed. The actor appearing in this episode was his son, Noah Beery, Jr., who also appeared in episode #248, “TCOT Hasty Honeymooner.” Noah Beery, Jr. was probably best known for playing James Garner’s father, Rocky Rockford, in the 1970s action television show, The Rockford Files.

Sightings: In the back of courtroom gallery, Distinguished Gentleman #1 watches the proceedings with great interest. Pencil Mustache Man and Quiet Old Man #1 are there, too, if you look carefully enough. Don Anderson made it, too; he’s right next to the Gentleman. Submitted by gracenote, 4/21/2011.

Character Cars. Two of the featured cars fit their assigned fictional owners very well:

• Lucille Forrest had her well-timed blowout while driving her 1960 Ford Galaxie Club Sedan just like this one (other than the cop lights and paint). The Club Sedan was Ford's 1960 option for basic, sensible transportation in a 2-door full-sized car. Although this was the second year that Ford used the Galaxie model name, the 1960 Galaxie and Fairlane model lines remained virtually identical (see Trivia Ep#225). However, you can easily read the Galaxie script on the car's fender as Lucille has her tire mishap.
• The little white sports car, whose owners are revealed later, is a TRIUMPH TR4 with optional hardtop. The TR4 first appeared in Perry Mason just 3 months previously in Ep#213.
