Roland La Starza made for a convincing bouncer in this episode. He was a former boxer, a heavyweight contender who challenged Rocky Marciano twice during his career. The first fight in 1950 lead to a controversial loss. The second was in 1953 for the heavyweight title and La Starza was knocked out in the 11th round. After retiring in 1961, he parlayed his fame along with his good looks for small TV roles. Submitted by Kenmore, 5/20/2010.

Location: Paul checks Barbara Kramer’s car registration midway into this episode. Her address is listed as 1416 No. La Brea. This is an inside joke. That address was not only the home of Perry Mason’s production company Paisano Productions from 1961 to 1966 but also where Raymond Burr often slept during the filming of episodes. It was originally Charlie Chaplin studios but is currently home to Jim Henson Productions. Submitted by Eric Cooper, 5 October 2010.

Grandon Rhodes, who plays the trial judge here, was the judge in the first Mason episode TCOT Restless Redhead.
