Trivia Edit

The first - maybe only - example in the entire history of the Series/movies where the two lead guest stars share homonymic names (? I didn't verify this, hence the question mark, but for those with much ambition - or is it just too much time? - it should be easy enough). Notcom 053122.

Also perhaps the only examply where Perry's client is not overjoyed at the outcome (In fact he seems downright angry). Notcom 053122.

Comments Edit

Gordon Jump as Arthur, the bank manager, was famous for portraying another "Arthur" ... Arthur Carlson the radio station manager, in the comedy series WKRP In Cinncinnati. jfh 27Nov2022
